Leeds United can now enjoy their summer break with a second season in the Premier League to look forward to - but for a handful of Whites men a massive summer is only just getting started.
Two weeks have passed since Leeds concluded their first season back in the country’s top flight with the final day 3-0 defeat at West Ham, ahead of which Daniel Farke’s side knew they were already assured of Premier League survival.
Despite their final day defeat to the Irons, Leeds enjoyed a fine first season back in the Premier League, Farke’s men finishing in 14th place and eight points clear of the drop zone.
But the season is still not done for a quartet of Whites stars who will now bid for glory at this summer’s World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico which begins on Thursday as Mexico face South Africa in he Group A opener.
Leeds have Gabi Gudmundsson (Sweden), Noah Okafor (Switzerland), Ao Tanaka (Japan) and Brenden Aaronson (USA) representing their countries at this summer’s major tournament and here we run through who plays when and how to watch.
