Four Leeds United stars handed international call-ups with qualification hopes in the balance

A number of Leeds United stars have received call-ups for international duty ahead of the upcoming international break. The Whites have enjoyed a fine campaign so far, sitting in third place and coming off the back of a huge away win over leaders Leicester City.

Daniel Farke's men take on Plymouth Argyle this weekend in the final game before the break, and a number of their players will then jet off for international duty. Three of those players will link up with Robert Page's Wales squad.

Wales face Armenia and Turkey in the space of three days, with the former away from home and the latter at the Cardiff City Stadium. Wales still have their qualification fate in their own hands, needing to match or better Croatia's results in their final two games to finish in the top two. Should they fail, they will get a play-off spot due to the Nations League and their overall ranking.

Leeds stars Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon and Daniel James will all be part of that effort having been called up by Page for this squad. Rodon and Ampadu played the full 90 minutes during a vital 2-1 win over Croatia in during the last international break while James came off the bench to provide an assist with Harry Wilson netting both goals in that all-important game.

Meanwhile, Glen Kamara has been called up by Finland for their remaining qualifiers, against Northern Ireland and San Marino respectively. Finland cannot finish in the top two of their qualification group, but they are assured of a play-off spot through their Nations League efforts.

Kamara and his teammates should fancy themselves to build some momentum from those two remaining qualifiers ahead of the playoffs getting underway in March. They defeated Northern Ireland 1-0 when the sides met earlier in the qualification campaign and hammered San Marino 6-0 in the reverse fixture in June.
