Day one of 306 starts here. Ten months and one day from now, Leeds United will be rounding off what they hope is a one-and-done whistle-stop return to the Premier League.
Thirty-six days on from the sickening reality of relegation at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, United’s players and staff will reconvene this morning. Leeds Beckett University will play host once again to the series of day-one tests Rob Price, head of medicine and performance, and his team have set.
The players will arrive at the Carnegie School of Sport, register, take a look over their bespoke schedule and work breakfast around their various tests. It will be an opportunity for reunions and catch-ups as they come by one another throughout the day.
