Leeds United beat Reading 2-0 at Elland Road yesterday evening.
Garry Monk has told BBC Radio Leeds that he does worry about the physical demands he is putting on his Leeds United squad.
Leeds were pressing high against Reading yesterday evening, and they were rewarded for their hard work as they picked up a 2-0 victory.
The Whites had less than 30 per cent possession in the contest, but they chased hard and were well organised to reduce Reading’s chances.
Monk was delighted by the effort his Leeds side put in, but admits that it does concern him that his demands are so high.
“It takes a lot out of them physically. That’s my worry with a young group, physically we put a high demand on them,” he said. “But when you know they have the character and desire to keep going no matter how they feel, that’s important.”
Leeds appear to have taken well to Monk’s demanding style, as they are in their best form in many years.
The Whites have increased hopes that they could be promoted this season, and return to the Premier League for the first time since 2004.
Leeds are currently in fifth place in the Championship table, with their next match coming against Brentford at the weekend.
