Leeds defender Pontus Jansson is gearing up for his return.

Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson is working hard ahead of his return to the club.

Jansson has been on an extended break since starring at the World Cup for Sweden on their run to the quarter-finals.

He has missed four pre-season games for Leeds so far, with a fifth this evening.

With the Championship season kicking off in just over a week’s time, Leeds need Jansson fully fit and raring to go.

While he is not at Leeds for training, he is clearly doing his own work behind the scenes to ensure he is ready, and able to impress new boss Marcelo Bielsa.

Leeds have not signed any defender so far either, and have loaned out promising talent Paudie O’Connor, so getting Jansson back is absolutely essential.
