Leeds United have nine players representing their countries in the September international break and here’s where you can watch them in action.

Just like that, the 2025-26 Premier League season is three games old and we’re already at the first international break.

Leeds United have enjoyed a good start to the season, picking up four points in their three opening games and sitting 12th in the table.

The hard work is only just beginning, though, and the fight for survival has got even tougher after Leeds were unable to sign any attacking reinforcements on a disastrous deadline day.

Daniel Farke had warned of the need for more quality in the final third if Leeds were to stay up, with fans left furious that no additions were made despite big promises from the 49ers.

The international break gives Leeds a chance to regroup and, hopefully, sign a free agent like Christian Eriksen or Josh Brownhill to plug the gap.

For nine Leeds players, however, international duty calls and here is where you can see them in action.

Ethan Ampadu has missed out due to injury and Joe Rodon was a late withdrawal with a knock, but the rest of Leeds’ Welsh contingent has been named in Craig Bellamy’s squad.

That includes youngster Charlie Crew, who is spending the season on loan at Doncaster Rovers.
