Watch highlights from Leeds United's behind-closed-doors friendly defeat to Al-Ittihad Club

Leeds United played a behind-closed-doors friendly match at Thorp Arch on Monday evening, as members of Marcelo Bielsa's squad picked up some more vital playing time ahead of the new season.

The visitors to Leeds' training ground were top flight Saudi side Al-Ittihad Club, who were quick to post a number of updates regarding the match on social media.

While no official details on the Leeds team have been confirmed, the squad was largely made up of players that stayed behind in the UK last week and did not travel to the UK.

This included the likes of Helder Costa, Ben White, Pascal Struijk, Alfie McCalmont, Gjanni Alioski and Mateusz Klich, with the Pole smashing in a goal from close range in what was a 4-2 defeat to Leeds.

Al-Ittihad Club posted highlights from the clash onto their YouTube channel, which you can watch above.

While Leeds may have suffered a defeat, this stage of the summer is all about getting minutes in. Leeds' next official friendlies come on Saturday, when the first-team travel to Cagliari in the evening and a Leeds United XI face Girona at Tadcaster earlier in the day.
