Uncertainty surrounds Mateusz Klich’s Leeds United future with a need for minutes ahead of the World Cup raising doubts for Jesse Marsch. The head coach named the Poland international on his bench vs Cagliari on Sunday night along with fringe options Helder Costa and Ian Poveda.
While those two wingers have long been considered on the exit list this summer, as a firm part of the Elland Road furniture, Klich’s slide down the pecking order has been significant. After failing to start any matches in Australia he failed to get onto the field tonight with the new season only six days away.
Addressing the situation of Costa, Klich and Poveda, Marsch said: “They’ve done a really good job with the uncertainty of the situation, really working hard in pre-season and being part of the group and then we’ll see how that moves forward.”
