Leeds United will have just seven of Daniel Farke's regular outfield squad members at Thorp Arch during the international break and the manager may even have to dust off his own boots to make up the numbers

Sam Byram and Jamie Shackleton are not the first Leeds United combatants you would pick to mark a target man. And yet the only surviving Whites defenders of this international break could face that unenviable task, trying to best their own manager no less.

Illan Meslier, Kristoffer Klaesson and Karl Darlow will keep goalkeeping coach Ed Wootten busy, but there are only seven regular outfield members of Farke’s squad still around. Joel Piroe, Patrick Bamford, Crysencio Summerville, Jaidon Anthony, Shackleton, Byram and Joe Gelhardt need one more volunteer to make a five vs five.

“It's always tricky to work on team behaviour skills. It's more like you work, during this period, on individual skills and a bit more detailed with individual players.” Georginio Rutter’s surgery leaves the door open to Piroe’s possible inclusion, Anthony could be needed ahead of Daniel James or Wilfried Gnonto, while Byram is almost nailed on to start at left-back. Junior Firpo’s second Dominican Republic fixture kicks off at 1.30am UK time on March 27 in Peru and Farke understands the defender may not be back on home soil until the morning of Good Friday.
