Robin Koch begins last push for Leeds United quintet in final batch of internationals until March

Leeds could have another five players in Nations League action over the next two days with Robin Koch part of the Germany squad who are in Spain for tonight's clash in Seville.

Koch made what was just his second competitive start for Germany in Saturday's 3-1 victory at home to Nations League visitors Ukraine in which the Whites summer recruit played a more advanced role as a defensive midfielder, staying on for the full game.

Four more Whites players could then take in further international action on Wednesday evening with Mateusz Klich back from suspension to be available for Poland for their hosting of the Netherlands.

Whites skipper Liam Cooper is part of the Scotland squad in Israel ahead of tomorrow night's clash in Netanya while Stuart Dallas is with Northern Ireland who host Romania, also tomorrow night.

Dallas captained Northern Ireland for the first time in Sunday's 2-1 Nations League defeat against Austria in Vienna.

Tyler Roberts, meanwhile, could also get more minutes for Wales as they host Finland, also tomorrow night.

Roberts came off the bench in the 88th minute of Sunday's 1-0 win at home to Nations League visitors Ireland in which his pace led to a straight red-card for Jeff Hendrick.

All five games involving United players over the next two days are 7.45pm kick-offs.

Leeds have had six players away on senior international duty with the half-dozen completed by Gjanni Alioski who left the North Macedonia camp early due to a hamstring setback.

United return to Premier League action in just five days' time with Sunday's Elland Road showdown against Arsenal which is a 4.30pm kick-off.

The next international break is not scheduled to take place until the end of March which will be less than three months before the start of the delayed European Championships.

Current Whites internationals Alioski (North Macedonia), Cooper (Scotland), Klich (Poland), Koch (Germany), Kalvin Phillips (England), Diego Llorente (Spain) and Rodrigo (Spain) have all seen their nations qualify.

The latter trio have all been recently sidelined.
