Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Klich admits he's been battling fatigue in recent weeks.

The 30-year-old has revealed the reason behind his recent omission from the Leeds United starting XI, claiming that tiredness has played a part in his receding role.

"I admit that yes, that's why I've been resting more in the club lately. I started two matches on the bench. Over the last three years I have 'loaded' some of these [international] meetings, and I have not had any holidays," Klich said, responding to a question about his integral part in Leeds' first season back in the top flight.

"Fortunately, I was avoiding more serious injuries, but minor ones started to happen to me, from overload, from [the] intensity. My joints don't hurt yet, I'm only 30 years old, but something hurt," he added.
