Leeds United defender promises to see his teammates soon.
Leeds United’s first pre-season game went well last night as the Whites recorded a first win, beating Forest Green Rovers.
It was a satisfactory start for new boss Marcelo Bielsa as he continues to get to know his players.
One notable absentee was Pontus Jansson, who is resting after his involvement at the World Cup with Sweden.
Jansson may have been out of sight, but his attention was still on the club, as he sent a message to Leeds on Twitter congratulating the team on their victory, and promising he will soon be back.
Leeds’ squad is stretched fairly thin at present with numerous departures and few incomings, and getting Jansson back will certainly help.
Marcelo Bielsa lined his side up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, and having Jansson back will give him greater freedom to experiment, perhaps with three at the back.
Jansson’s Sweden reached the World Cup quarter-finals, where they were defeated by England.
