Jesse Marsch press conference RECAP: Leeds United coach on injured trio and Brighton threat

Leeds United are flirting with a return to the Championship having failed to pick up any points in each of their last three matches.

The Whites are currently in 18th place due to their unfavourable goal difference, knowing that fixtures against Brighton and Brentford will be their only opportunity to save themselves from relegation.

Losing both matches would condemn United to second tier football next season, while a point or even three may not be enough if Burnley and Everton pick up results elsewhere.

Jesse Marsch's post-match press conference following the 3-0 defeat by Chelsea in midweek was shorter than usual, as the American offered more concise responses, the realisation of the club's predicament perhaps dawning on him.

This afternoon, Marsch hosted his pre-Brighton press briefing where he answered further questions on the club's situation, as well as provided an update on members of the squad who may have been unavailable through injury.
