Leeds’ players have divided their time between international commitments, individual training plans and luxurious foreign holidays since the play-off final defeat at Wembley Stadium last month.
While some have jetted off to far-flung destinations, others have remained closer to home, in some cases getting back to the usual regime at the club’s Thorp Arch training ground, all by themselves.
While club captain Liam Cooper is at the European Championships, Brenden Aaronson is gearing up for Copa America while Ethan Ampadu has skippered the Welsh national team for the first time.
Here’s what the Leeds squad have been up to ahead of 2024/25.
