Leeds United will only be better for spending a full pre-season working under Jesse Marsch, says skipper Liam Cooper. After spending time with the Scotland side last month, Cooper was one of several players given permission to miss the first week of pre-season training.
As such, the defender has returned to action today and he’ll be working hard to get himself fit in time for the opening game of the season at Elland Road against Wolves on August 6. The captain will have been there to welcome new signings Brenden Aaronson and Rasmus Kristensen to West Yorkshire this morning, while Leeds have also secured the signing of Darko Gyabi from Man City.
And, with more signings expected, Cooper believes Marsch will have the time and opportunity to make his mark at Thorp Arch this summer.
