In a little over a weeks’ time, Leeds United will be boarding a flight bound for Australia. The Whites have three friendlies scheduled to take place Down Under next month, with Brisbane Roar, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace all lined up.
Jesse Marsch will have around two weeks of training with his side, too, and he’ll be keen to make his mark on the side as the start of the Premier League season edges ever closer. However, it’s fair to say a number of Leeds players will be keen to make a positive impression and catch the eye while they’re on the other side of the world, too.
Of course, the point of a pre-season is to prepare for the new campaign and every player will aim to be fit enough to hit the ground running come August 6. However, a strong showing in Australia is more important to some members of the squad than others.
