Leeds United are out of competitive action for six weeks due to the World Cup break. An unprecedented winter tournament has placed the Premier League on a lengthy hiatus but could work to the Whites’ advantage.
Jesse Marsch has several key players on the treatment table who now have a perfect opportunity to come back firing on all cylinders. Injuries have been the bane of Leeds’ season and a lull in the fixture has come at an ideal time.

LeedsLive have profiled who is currently ruled out and when supporters can expect them to be back in contention.
