Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa says Niall Huggins will be better for his Premier League debut.
The youngster saw action in defeat to Arsenal on Sunday.
Bielsa reasoned, "The absences of Kalvin, Koch, Llorente, Poveda, Moreno, we are prepared to resolve them.
"I insist that Pascal, Ayling and Shackleton resolved well with these absences.
"It's very difficult and unfair on a young player like Niall to come into the game in these circumstances where we're losing 4-0 and to participate in trying to get us back into the game. Had a balanced game. He didn't shine, but did not do anything bad either."
