For the second time this season, Leeds United are set to return after the international break with a fixture against Southampton. The Whites will be looking to make it three wins in a row when they host the Saints, a feat they haven’t achieved since the end of the previous campaign.
In comparison to international breaks gone by, Leeds will have the majority of their squad in and around Thorp Arch. Robin Koch and Raphinha have not been able to fly away with Germany and Brazil respectively after testing positive for Covid-19, so it remains to be seen when they will be able to return to training.
Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford, Mateusz Klich, Illan Meslier, Joe Gelhardt and Diego Llorente, though, will all be able to continue their fights to get back to full fitness, while Rodrigo Moreno was not selected for the Spain squad. That means that Leeds could be well set up to hit the ground running upon the resumption of the season.
