Leeds United have kept sharp over their Premier League break by competing in a number of training games at Thorp Arch, Brenden Aaronson has revealed. The Whites have seen two games postponed over the last couple of weeks following the death of the Queen, with games against Nottingham Forest and Manchester United being pushed back to be played at a later date.
With the international break taking up the final stages of September, Leeds will go a month without a Premier League contest, with their next outing scheduled to come on October 2 against Aston Villa at Elland Road. Training has continued under Jesse Marsch, though, and the head coach has been keen to see his players keep themselves ticking over and remain sharp.
As such, while some senior faces dropped down into Michael Skubala’s Under-21s for some much-needed minutes on Friday night, it seems the head coach organised some games on the training field, too, before seeing a handful of his stars leave on international duty. Aaronson has linked up with the United States national team this week for games against Japan and Saudi Arabia as they continue their preparations for the World Cup in November and he admits the last few weeks have been challenging.
