Leeds United news as pundit says 'disappointed' Whites player could miss out on World Cup squad

Here are your Leeds United evening headlines on Monday, November 7.

'Disappointed' Leeds United player could miss out on World Cup squad

Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich could find himself ousted from the Poland squad for this year's World Cup after a severe drop in his playing time at Elland Road this season.

Despite having 41 senior appearances for his country, including games at the last European Championships, Klich might not find a seat on the plane later on this month according to Polish journalist Tomasz Włodarczyk.

Klich has started just once this season under boss Jesse Marsch - a second round Carabao Cup game where he scored twice in a 3-1 win over Barnsley.

But since then, he's been used as a rotational player in just 11 league games after the arrivals of Tyler Adams and Marc Roca in the summer transfer window.

Writing for Polish outlet Meczyki as he predicted their 26-man squad, Włodarczyk admitted that it's surprising Klich hasn't been involved much in Marsch's plans but could find his way into the squad if someone falls injured.

"A few players will definitely be disappointed. Mateusz Klich is not on this list, but who knows who was in this squad for a long time and gave a lot of impulses, but in Leeds he plays little.

"But who knows, maybe there will still be corrections here, but these are places [for] 23-26. I think there will be no huge surprises if, of course, everyone is healthy."

Crysencio Summerville a 'constant threat' as Marsch's gamble pays off

As far as weeks go, very few would've been able to match Crysencio Summerville's. The Dutchman scored the winning goal against Liverpool at Anfield on the eve of his 21st birthday and produced the decisive strike in a 4-3 thriller against AFC Bournemouth.

Summerville has three goals in as many games for the Whites and has now been named in Garth Crooks' BBC team of the week. Leeds trailed 3-1 against Bournemouth at Elland Road, before goals from Sam Greenwood and Liam Cooper drew them level.

Wilfried Gnonto picked the ball up deep inside his own half and set off on a mesmerising solo run. Summerville pounced, escaping his marker with a darting run, and latched onto a beautifully weighted pass from the Italian to dispatch an emphatic finish past Mark Travers.

Leeds United injury list as Patrick Bamford faces race against time ahead of Spurs

Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford will face a race against time to be fit for the trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday after picking up a hip injury in training.

Bamford has been plagued by injury for the last 18 months and suffered another setback which saw him sidelined for the 4-3 victory over AFC Bournemouth.

The 29-year-old will miss the League Cup clash against Wolves on Wednesday and Jesse Marsch will have to wait and see whether Bamford will be fit for the trip to North London.

After Leeds' second straight league win over Bournemouth on Saturday, here is a full list of Leeds' injuries, with potential return dates.
