Four Leeds players star on international duty with two goals and key clean sheets | OneFootball

Leeds United’s European contingent enjoyed a productive Tuesday, with two goals and several clean sheets across the Nations League and under-21 action. As reported by yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, six of Daniel Farke’s first-team were involved, with four starring on the continent.

James Trafford started and impressed in a 2-0 Nations League win over Czechia in Prague, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin remained on the bench.

In Glasgow, Nico Elvedi put Switzerland 2-0 up on 55 minutes after Jack Hendry’s 11th-minute red card led to Ricardo Rodriguez scoring the free-kick. The centre-back met Dan Ndoye’s cross after a well-timed run, a move praised by former Scotland striker James McFadden.

Zeki Amdouni added a late third, and Elvedi completed the full match to pair his goal with a clean sheet.

Jean-Matteo Bahoya came on after 12 minutes for the injured Ethan Mbappe and scored France Under-21s’ second in a 2-0 win in Estonia. Cutting in from the right, he curled a left-footed finish into the far bottom corner.

Jaka Bijol helped secure a 2-0 home win against North Macedonia, making 11 defensive contributions, the most on the pitch. Ilia Gruev completed 90 minutes in Bulgaria’s 0-0 draw at home to Estonia, a second outing in quick succession for the midfielder, who has not played for Leeds since a serious knee injury in April.
