Where to watch, kick-off times and dates for Leeds United stars on international duty
Leeds United have 15 players away on international duty over the next fortnight and here is how you can watch them in action.
Supporters usually bemoan the international break but it couldn’t have come at a better time for Leeds United.
Daniel Farke’s side have won just one of their last four matches, which has seen them surrender their advantage at the top of the Championship table.
Sheffield United sit on the same number of points, while Burnley are just two points behind in a tight title race.
A rest and chance to refresh is most welcome for Leeds ahead of the intense run-in but not every member of the squad has got the next fortnight off.
Leeds will have 15 players – plus Rasmus Kristensen, who’s on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt – jetting off to represent their countries during the break and here is how you can tune in.
