Usually, the international break is pretty much disliked by supporters, but if you are Leeds United, then you are probably glad it came along when it did.
Illan Meslier’s howler against Sunderland is still probably ringing in everyone’s head and this mini-break will help settle everything down.
When Leeds return to action, it’s the small matter of locking horns with Sheffield United on Friday night in a Yorkshire derby.
Given that the game will be at Elland Road, nothing but three points is expected here, especially with second-placed Sheffield United already three points ahead of fifth-placed Leeds.
The great thing is that a few players are enjoying themselves on national duty and it will be putting a smile on the face of Daniel Farke.
The one who has impressed the most so far is upcoming and thriving Leeds striker Mateo Joseph, who netted a hat-trick for Spain U21s, after switching his allegiances to the nation and being handed his first start.
Not only did Joseph bag three goals, but he did it all in the first half, as the Spain youngsters recorded a 4-3 win over Kazakhstan.
Rightfully so, Joseph was lauded and applauded for his performance after expressing his delight on Instagram.
