Marcelo Bielsa comments on Leeds United striker Eddie Nketiah

Marcelo Bielsa explained his decision to bring on Eddie Nketiah in place of Patrick Bamford after the break during the post-match interview on Saturday.

Leeds United missed the opportunity to move to the top of the Championship table after they drew 0-0 against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.

Bamford, who has been Bielsa’s first-choice striker, started the game, but the former Chelsea forward was taken off at the break.

Nketiah, who has impressed in cameo roles so far, took his place, but the young Arsenal loanee failed to make any significant impact.

The Argentine has discussed the qualities of the two strikers and praised both of them.
