Leeds United boss is reportedly conducting four training sessions a day.
After arriving at Leeds a fortnight ago, Bielsa cut out half the squad, dispatching some to train with the under-23s and instructing others to be sold or loaned immediately.
The players who stayed have been taking part in an intense training regime as Bielsa attempts to make the team the fittest in the Championship.
Double training sessions are often undertaken at this time of year by teams, but four is a staggering amount of work being put in on a daily basis by the players and Bielsa’s staff.
The report adds how instead of travelling home, some players have been asked to stay over in a hotel overnight as sessions are finishing late.
Leeds’ efforts in the transfer market have been slow so far with just one player added, Lewis Baker on loan.
Bielsa is evidently trying to maximise what he has, and help his players reach their potential.
The players appear to be responding well to it, with Kemar Roofe’s Instagram page suggesting he is enjoying it so far.
Bielsa’s strategy is a risk though, as with a thin squad, he risks burning the players out before the 46 game Championship season has already started.
No injuries have been suffered so far, and the Whites have even welcomed back long term absentee Tyler Roberts.
Leeds’ first game of the season is at home to Stoke City in early August and the fruits of the team’s labour will start to show then, and they could catch their opponents cold if they arrive into the game with a high intensity which Gary Rowett’s side simply can’t match.
