The Leeds United head coach was speaking ahead of the Whites' trip to Millwall on Sunday
Was good, much needed if I’m honest, also beneficial. So, the eight weeks before were packed with work and lots of stuff ongoing. It was important to recover for a few days and it was definitely necessary. It was also good to have time on the training pitch.
There is a question mark behind Djed Spence. First of all, he missed some sessions and some days due to private reasons and then yesterday in training he got a knock against his knee, his lateral ligament. We need to wait for some further assessment. Today it was not possible to train so I would label it definitely a major doubt, also for the weekend. And all the other players that you've mentioned will return back so Liam Cooper is back in team training since yesterday.
Up front, in the more creative positions, we have several options. Perhaps we don't have a natural number 10 but let's be honest, when you judge the best teams in this country when I speak about Manchester City or Liverpool or others, they quite often don't play with a proper number 10. We have players who are capable to be quite creative in these roles. For example Ian Poveda can do this, Cree Summerville can do this.
There's always just one solution: hard work. It's not so much about psychological games or something, is more like come on work hard to bring yourself into a really good fitness level and concentrate on the performances because it never works if you're just playing with ‘I have to score, I have to score’, and you set yourself under pressure.
There was also not too much time with the whole group together after this international break, but I'm sure right now, the longer we will stay together and the more time we have also on the training pitch and we work together, it's just about finding the right set-up, the right balance. I'm confident that this group will also win many, many points.Yes, we've spoken already about this. The Den is an unbelievably tough place to go play, I have been several times.
