Mateusz Klich insists Leeds United will need 'everyone' in Premier League promotion push

Mateusz Klich says Leeds United will need everyone as the race for promotion to the Premier League enters its final push.

The Whites sit five points clear of third-place Fulham in second holding the final automatic promotion spot behind division leaders West Bromwich Albion.

United have just 12 games of the campaign to go with a trip to Middlesbrough up next on Wednesday night before another away day at Hull City on Saturday lunchtime.

Marcelo Bielsa's outfit made it back-to-back wins in the Championship after a solitary Pablo Hernandez strike saw off Reading last weekend.

Klich, though, insists that the Whites will need everyone in their ranks as they look to bring a 16-year absence from England's top flight to an end.

"You need not only the 11 players, you need everyone." Klich said.

"You need the players who aren't playing to be able to step up and be ready to play in the team.

"In previous clubs I've been on the bench and wanted to play and you need everyone. We've got a great atmosphere and I hope we will be fine.

"Even when the results weren't there, we still played good. There were just individual mistakes which led to goals - and we couldn't score goals either, which was a problem.

"The atmosphere within the group always remained the same because we know how good we can be. We believe in how we play and nothing has changed."

Asked about his thoughts having a stunning 82 consecutive games for the club, Klich added: I'm just very happy I am fit and haven't had any problems with injuries.

"I want to keep playing games, every football player wants this, and I hope to reach more than 100 league games consecutively - but there's a long way to go."
