Jesse Marsch could be forgiven for watching the last week’s international games through his fingers. The Leeds United head coach was forced to part with a number of players this month as they linked up with their respective national teams and he will have been keeping a close eye on their performances.
Of course, Marsch will have been keen to see his players excel on the international stage, but he will have been wincing the moment they were involved in a slight scrape for fear of picking up an injury. The Whites are preparing to enter a key period of the Premier League season and the last thing they would want is key men breaking down while away from Thorp Arch.
However, it seems as though those involved for their countries will return to West Yorkshire intact and firing on all cylinders after a successful time away. Leeds haven’t played a game for almost one whole month now and it’s fair to say those internationals within the squad took their opportunity to blow away any cobwebs that may have emerged in that time.
