Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is releasing Robin Koch and Mateusz Klich for the remaining games of the season.

Bielsa has made the decision to allow the pair to focus on preparing for this summer's European Championship, with little left to play for against Southampton midweek and then next weekend when they welcome fans back to Elland Road for the clash with West Brom.

Klich will hope to represent Poland in the Euros, while Koch will be eyeing a spot in Germany's squad for the tournament.

"Koch has been given early leave with the potential for him to be called up or not called up to the German national team," Bielsa said.

"I don't know whether he's going to be called up to the German national team or not. It's just that he has a small (hip) niggle and we didn't want to run the risk of a small niggle being aggravated into something bigger.

"The injury that he has is not important and we didn't want to take the risk of him playing and making it worse so we anticipated his holidays in the same way we did so for Klich.

"(Klich) is not injured. The evaluations that I make over the campaign are for the needs of each player and in the case of Klich, the decision I made was the best for him."
