Graham Smyth's Leeds United player ratings vs Paderborn as four score 8/10 but one 5

The YEP’s player ratings from Leeds United’s second behind-closed-doors friendly in Germany on Saturday afternoon.

Leeds United played their second behind-closed-doors friendly in Germany on Saturday afternoon - but how did we rate the players?

Leeds began their pre-season friendlies with last weekend’s goalless draw against Manchester United in Stockholm, after which the squad flew on to Germany for a training camp and two behind-closed-doors friendlies.

The first of those presented itself on Tuesday afternoon as Daniel Farke’s side recorded a 4-1 victory against third tier German hosts SC Verl.

Four days later, the Whites took in their second and final behind-closed-doors friendly against second tier outfit Paderborn.

Graham Smyth, the YEP’s chief football writer, hands out the scores.
