Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen has told Leeds Live that he left Mateusz Klich out of the squad against Queens Park Rangers as a tactical decision.

Klich was not part of the matchday squad during Leeds’s Championship game against QPR away from home at Loftus Road in London on Saturday afternoon.

“Yes it was a tactical decision,” Christiansen told Leeds Live when asked about leaving Klich out of the team.

Klich has struggled for playing time since his move from FC Twente in the summer transfer window.

The Poland international midfielder arrived at Elland Road with a strong reputation, but the 27-year-old has failed to convince too many fans.

When the midfielder has played, his impact has not been great, and Leeds seem to be playing well and getting results without him.

Klich has played just 110 minutes of the Championship football so far this season, and it is hard to see how he can break into the Leeds first team.

Leeds have recovered from their slump in form and are back in the race for the Championship playoffs this season.
