Leeds get double defensive boost at West Ham, youngsters on bench with Buonanotte back | OneFootball

Leeds United have a double defensive lift for their final-day trip to West Ham as Jayden Bogle and Pascal Struijk both start, with Daniel Farke making three changes.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Lukas Nmecha partners Dominic Calvert-Lewin up front, with Dan James, Sebastian Bornauw and the injured Anton Stach making way. James and Bornauw are on the bench alongside youngsters Alfie Cresswell and Rhys Chadwick, and Brighton loanee Facundo Buonanotte after a recent hamstring issue.

Gabi Gudmundsson, Noah Okafor, Ilia Gruev, Stach and Sean Longstaff had already been ruled out. Struijk returned to training this week after missing the Brighton match, while Farke said on Friday that Bogle might have a chance depending on how his body responded.

Brenden Aaronson, taken off last weekend with a dead leg, keeps his place.

Irons head coach Nuno Espirito Santo makes three changes, with Taty Castellanos, Pablo Felipe and Kyle-Walker Peters recalled. His XI includes former Leeds player Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen as captain.

West Ham starting XI: Hermansen, Walker-Peters, Mavropanos, Disasi, Diouf, Fernandes, Souček, Bowen, Summerville, Pablo, Taty.

Leeds United starting XI: Darlow, Bogle, Rodon, Bijol, Struijk, Justin, Ampadu, Tanaka, Aaronson, Nmecha, Calvert-Lewin.
