Leeds United fans worried sick about injury blow after confirmed news
Leeds United fans have expressed a growing concern about the number of players leaving the club on international duty this week.
The club announced that 15 of their players had been selected to represent their countries – and informed clubs of how they could track their favourites.
However, this has come after their season was derailed by the last international break last time out, with fans insisting the players were deflated going into the final stages of the season.
With Euro 2024 and the latest Copa America over the summer, there had been suggestions that some players were afraid to pick up injuries ahead of the tournaments.
The latest concern surrounding players on international duty is the intense fixture congestion, which some are insisting could lead to further injury issues.
A relatively slow start to the season has left Leeds in need of a strong run of form upon their return from the break – and they will be hoping not to suffer any further issues.
Leeds United injury worries grow after confirmed international update
Daniel Farke famously likes to work with a smaller squad, but that means that injury blows can be enough to derail any strong run of form they are putting together.
With key players the likes of Joe Rodon, Junior Firpo, Brenden Aaronson and Ethan Ampadu all away, their concerns about potential injuries are continuing to rise.
In response to Leeds’ announcement about which players would be departing, fans have taken to social media to share their worries, with fingers crossed they are not dealt serious blows.
