Leeds boss Jesse Marsch has not closed the door on Mateusz Klich

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch has not closed the door on midfielder Mateusz Klich’s Elland Road future.

Speculation has been mounting over whether Klich will remain at Leeds beyond this summer after limited game time under Marsch during pre-season.

But the Poland international made a big impact off the bench in Saturday’s opening Premier League win against Wolves and Marsch remains open-minded.

The American said after his side’s 2-1 victory: “I can understand that some people have questioned it because we haven’t had him involved in certain things.

“But you know what, let’s see how things go. I know as long as he’s here, he’s fully committed.

“That’s the most important thing. It’s clear that he wants to play because making the World Cup should be a big goal of his.

“But we have to also think about as a club, what’s best for us and what’s best for how it all fits together.”

Klich played a key role for Leeds under previous head coach Marcelo Bielsa and has two years left on a four-and-a-half-year deal he signed in November 2019.

But the 32-year-old has not featured so prominently since Bielsa’s departure in February.

He was an unused substitute in Leeds’ final pre-season friendly against Cagliari and started on the bench again against Wolves as new midfield signings Brenden Aaronson, Tyler Adams and Marc Roca all made their debuts.

Marsch added: “None of this is really personal. It’s just Klich and I have had some different moments where we’ve had good discussions and sometimes disagreements on things, but I like him a lot.

“I like guys who say what they think is right and Klich says what he thinks.

“I felt strongly that we were going to need him (against Wolves) and I spoke to him before the match about what the role could look
