No bomb squad
Conventionally at football clubs, the collection of players not in a manager’s plans and expecting to depart are known as the bomb squad. During Marcelo Bielsa’s reign, Leeds United would send unneeded players, normally under-23s, to train away from Thorp Arch or at times the main group would not be around.
Under Jesse Marsch however, the fringe options we expect to depart Elland Road are still involved with the main first-team unit. Ian Poveda and Helder Costa were recorded going through the same drills as everyone else before the Wolverhampton Wanderers opener.
