Numbers will be thinner on the ground than usual for Leeds United’s next head coach when they begin their first day with the squad. The Whites are currently scheduled to return for pre-season on July 2, by which time Leeds are expected to have their man in place.
For the past few years, the first day back has generally meant testing at Leeds Beckett University. Wherever the next head coach wants the squad to report, he will not have everyone at his disposal.
While the faces who did not go away with their countries have no real reason to delay their comebacks, those who were, and currently are, on international duty will need more time to rest. As it stands, July 10 is the expected return date for United’s internationals.
