Jesse Marsch has admitted that Illan Meslier almost missed Leeds United's win over Watford after suffering a setback to the injury he sustained against Wolverhampton Wanders before the international break. This was despite making a full recovering ahead of the Whites' clash with Southampton last weekend.
However, the France international is still having a problem with the muscle issue and he was a doubt for the clash at Vicarage Road. Marsch even had Kristoffer Klaesson lined-up to play in goal following his impressive cameo at Wolves, where he made a number of good saves.
Meslier, though, was ready in time for the game and made a few crucial interventions to secure the Whites' sixth clean sheet of the season. It is also Marsch's first since his appointment back in February as Leeds stretched their unbeaten run to four matches.
