Leeds United‘s success in the Premier League may benefit Anton Stach the most out of any World Cup hopefuls in the squad.

The Whites are closing in on mathematically securing their Premier League status for another season, and it’s good news for those players hopeful of making it to the World Cup with their respective nations this summer.

Daniel Farke has instilled a feel-good factor among players and fans alike with recent performances, as supporters are seeing the best of some.

The likes of Brenden Aaronson, Noah Okafor, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are all dreaming of playing for their respective nations this summer, and Leeds’ form will only be a bonus.

Stach’s brilliant performance against Burnley proved that he could be the biggest winner among all players during these last three Premier League games.

Anton Stach not fighting for inclusion, but role with Germany

Stach received his first Germany call-up in four years before the March international break, where he was able to show Julian Nagelsmann a piece of his skill in person.

The midfielder only managed to play 10 minutes across two games, which suggests his inclusion is not guaranteed just yet.

However, the pull of performing in the Premier League is very reputable and demonstrates class over being a standout in Europe’s other top four leagues.

There is a good chance that Stach will make it to North America in Germany, but the role he will play could be determined by how well he performs with Leeds for these last three games.

Given that the pressure is off the Whites to stay in the Premier League, players like Stach may show even more of what they are capable of, with the shackles truly off.

Three more top performances could see the 27-year-old push the likes of Leon Goretzka, Angelo Stiller, and Pascal Gross for a starting spot.

Daniel Farke already given Stach’s hopes a leg up

Stach was playing in a deeper role for Leeds at the start of the season, but everybody could see his ability in the final third.

The German has demonstrated great vision and playmaking ability that has since made Farke push the midfielder further up the pitch.

Stahc has featured as a 10 behind the striker, but has also been played as a midfield eight with attacking freedom.

Not only has this been to the benefit of Leeds, but for Stach and his World Cup dream, with Nagelssman surely impressed with his ability to create.

Stach ranks in the top five for chances created per 90 in the Premier League, and that is something that could give him a starting spot in the greatest stage of them all.
