Leeds United news as Jack Harrison details Brenden Aaronson corner tactics

Here are your Leeds United evening headlines for Thursday, September 1.

Jack Harrison details Brenden Aaronson corner routine

Leeds United winger Jack Harrison has revealed just what exactly he and Brenden Aaronson are doing when they cover their mouths when standing over set-pieces.

"A lot of people have asked me what do you say? It's because we've put a lot of emphasis on our set-pieces this year. We really want to improve in that side of the game.

"We have probably about four or five set-pieces that we get to choose from so we don't want to say it right in front of the defenders so they know what we're doing. We cover our mouths and discuss which way we're going to go about it. It's kind of a funny picture - a lot of people are asking me about it!

"Once we signal they [the players in the box] know. We try to mix it up as much as possible but once we finally decide what we're doing, we put up a signal which tells the rest of the team. It's something we've been working on, not the hands over the mouth but it is something we're trying to improve on this year."

Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch has revealed the club are targeting after the upcoming international break for a return to training for striker Rodrigo.

The Spaniard dislocated his shoulder in Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Everton at Elland Road following a strong start to the new Premier League campaign. Rodrigo had scored four goals in the opening five league fixtures for the Whites but now looks set for a spell on the sidelines.

"An update on Rodrigo - when it pops out, it's about as good a case scenario as possible," said Marsch.

"That means that it doesn't need surgery and that hopefully in three to four weeks it can calm down."
