Leeds United's World Cup break plans revealed as Jesse Marsch explains approach

Leeds United’s plans for the World Cup break are coming together with Jesse Marsch confirming the club’s intentions following Saturday’s Premier League outing. The Whites travel to Tottenham Hotspur this weekend as the top flight grinds to a halt while the tournament in Qatar takes centre stage.

United will have almost seven weeks to wait until their next competitive fixture against Manchester City at Elland Road on December 28, but it seems they have plenty planned over the lay-off. A friendly against Spanish side Real Sociedad has been organised before Christmas and a warm weather training camp has been mooted, too.

The squad will be given time to recover from the opening 14 Premier League games, though, with Marsch keen to see his players rest up and recuperate for a week following the clash in north London.
