The vast majority of Leeds United’s squad have been back in pre-season training for over a week now.
Leeds had less than a handful of players involved in either Euro 2024 or the Copa America this summer, both of which are set to come to an end in the next 48 hours.
Junior Firpo, Ethan Ampadu and Dan James were the surprise faces on day one last Tuesday given their international commitments in June, but it is a great show of their commitment ahead of the upcoming season.
Diego Llorente was a notable omission, though it quickly became clear he was told to stay away as a move to Real Betis was finalised.
Having been away in Las Vegas when his return to Leeds was confirmed, Joe Rodon was also a late returnee but is now back, meaning it is only the tournament representatives yet to make an appearance.
Max Wober could be set for future resolution soon
With Liam Cooper looking likely to join Blackburn Rovers, Brenden Aaronson, Max Wober and Rasmus Kristensen are the trio to have been handed extra time off.
Aaronson was away with USA at the Copa America but after their group stage exit, it would not be a surprise if he is already back in West Yorkshire, having committed his future to Leeds in June.
