Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch believes the club’s injury situation this season has been predominantly down to ‘over-training’. The likes of Patrick Bamford, Liam Cooper, Kalvin Phillips, Luke Ayling and Robin Koch have all spent large portions of this season on the sidelines, while several other players have also been forced to miss matches due to injury.
Leeds’ struggles this season has been predominantly down to the volume of injuries to key players, which has seen them in and around the relegation battle. Speaking on talkSPORT this morning, Marsch explained how he has looked to change the club’s ‘training methodologies’ in order to combat the fitness issues since his arrival.
"The injury issues had a lot to do with the training methodologies, the players were over-trained. That led them to being physically, mentally, psychologically and emotionally in a difficult place to recover from week-to-week and game-to-game.
