What Leeds United have learnt from international break, Bahoya and Calvert-Lewin intel included
Leeds United have had an interesting international break, to say the least.
The Whites saw several stars called up to their respective national teams at both senior and youth levels.
Daniel Farke was always hoping that his players would come back to Elland Road unscathed, while the German head coach admitted he would use the time at Thorp Arch to give extra attention to those who need it.
Leeds return to action against Arsenal on Saturday, and will face the defending Premier League Champions at the Emirates Stadium.
The likes of Noah Okafor, Brenden Aaronson and Lukas Nmecha have all been putting in the hard work in LS11 along with other teammates ahead of the match.
But what about Leeds' international stars like Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jean-Matteo Bahoya?
Which Leeds star have had successful international break?
James Trafford had a big international break while away with England, and has now emerged as a potential Jordan Pickford replacement under Thomas Tuchel.
The goalkeeper didn't get off to the best start in the Nations League against Spain, but recovered well after keeping a clean sheet in a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic.
Tarik Muharemovic went undefeated in the four games he played in the Nations League for Bosnia and Herzegovina, scoring in a 4-2 win over Romania, looking primed to come back to Elland Road on top form.
Jaka Bijol fared well with Slovenia, picking up seven points from four games in Group 1 of the competition, but will still face a fight to get into Farke's starting eleven.
Summer signing Nico Elvedi wowed Swiss media several times in the Nations League, helping his country to a 100 per cent start, even scoring in a 3-0 win over Scotland.
Ao Tanaka featured three times for Japan, who won three games and drew one across their four friendly matches.
The midfielder only made one start and didn't play against New Zealand on Monday, which means he could be ready to feature from the off this weekend.
Ilia Gruev also started four times for Bulgaria in the Nations League, proving he is ready to start after regaining fitness.
Finally, though Wales underperformed in the Nations League over the break, losing three of their four matches, Ethan Ampadu and Dan James received praise for their performances.
Ampadu played 90 minutes in all four matches, while James scored in Wales' only win, as the winger was rested on Sunday.
Which Leeds players have had unsuccessful international break?
Calvert-Lewin's time away with England was a complete waste of time, and it proved that even if he's in the best of form for Leeds, he will not get worthy game time under Tuchel.
The striker is one of Farke's favourite players for the Whites, and it would be no surprise if he had a conversation with Tuchel after the break.
There has been lots of talk about Bahoya after his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer, but Farke has stressed the need for patience with the winger.
The 21-year-old featured in two wins and a draw for France's U21s over the break, scoring against Estonia, but there are now fitness concerns after he was forced off with an ankle injury last Saturday.
Anton Stach was called up to Jurgen Klopp's 44-man Germany squad, but only managed to scrape a total of 32 minutes across two games, as his nation failed to win.
Klopp split his squad into two for the break, but it was his latter 20-man side who managed to pick up the better results.
Finally, Gabriel Gudmundsson had a mixed bag of an international break with Sweden, as he was hooked after 54 minutes in his country's last game against Romania on Monday.
There are several factors for Farke to consider now when deciding on his team for Arsenal.
