Marcelo Bielsa has not ruled Raphinha out of Saturday's Premier League game at Southampton despite his involvement with Brazil.
Raphinha is reportedly poised to make his first start for Brazil in the early hours of Friday morning against Uruguay in a World Cup qualifier.
The 24-year-old faces a 36-hour turnaround to join Bielsa's side who travel to face the Saints on Saturday afternoon but the Leeds boss says Raphinha could still be in contention to feature in the league game.

'There is no doubt that it's a short turnaround,' Bielsa said.
