Leeds United need Samu Saiz to shine.
The international break comes at a good time for Leeds United and in particular Samu Saiz.
Saiz found himself dropped early in the month after his form dipped, with manager Marcelo Bielsa conceding the player was experiencing a tough time.
The two week break gives Saiz the perfect chance to rest and get focused.
He was a late substitute against West Brom and provided the assist for Leeds’ only goal in the defeat.
His last start came back on October 24, so it can be argued that Saiz has already had some rest, if a lack of it was the problem.
The Spaniard is Leeds’ most eye catching and dangerous player when he is on form, but as seen last season, he can have spells where he is ineffective.
Leeds host Bristol City upon the Championship’s resumption on November 24 and Leeds can benefit greatly if Saiz is in the starting line-up.
To do so he must convince Marcelo Bielsa he is ready to be recalled. Leeds’ push for promotion rests partly on his shoulders.
