Jesse Marsch will be hoping to see Leeds United ‘iron out’ a few issues on Wednesday evening as his side take on AS Monaco. That’s according to assistant coach Rene Maric, who insists the Whites’ are progressing well as they continue to prepare for the Premier League restart next week.
It’s been five and a half weeks since Leeds’ last competitive fixture and Marsch has been keen to use the World Cup break to make some necessary improvements within his team. As such, after giving players some much-needed respite, the club took the squad to Spain for a warm weather training camp earlier this month and organised three friendlies to be played in the build-up to their return to action.
Wins have come against La Liga sides Elche and Real Sociedad so far and while the visit of Monaco will provide another stern challenge, the coaching staff will be keen to see more progress made as the clash against Manchester City looms on the horizon.
