Responsibility for the mood in every corner of Leeds United through the fortnight-long wait for football was top of the agenda in their Molineux dressing room. Javi Gracia has lifted the lid on what was said in the bowels of Saturday’s stadium ahead of the 4-2 thriller which played out.
Liam Cooper, Brenden Aaronson, Kristoffer Klaesson, Sonny Perkins, Darko Gyabi, Rasmus Kristensen, Weston McKennie, Wilfried Gnonto, Diogo Monteiro and Max Wober will be absent from Thorp Arch this week. They are all playing for their countries in various age groups.
Their absence and what would be left at the training ground in their stead formed the basis of a rallying cry from Gracia ahead of Saturday’s kick-off. The head coach spelt out the importance of those three points for the work which would come in the fortnight before their Arsenal trip.
