The draw for the World Cup play-offs were made today and it would have been big news for several Leeds United players.

The club tweeted the outcome and pictures of the three players that it will impact.

Stuart Dallas and his Northern Ireland side will face a tough test against Switzerland if they are to book their place at Russia 2018.

Meanwhile, Eunan O'Kane will hope to force his way into the Republic of Ireland team who will gear up to face Denmark.

Finally, Pontus Jansson faces arguably the toughest task of all, with his Sweden side needing to overcome Italy if they are to progress to the finals.

These games will be played between November 9-14, so attention will be back to Leeds for the trio before then.

The Whites travel to Ashton Gate on Saturday looking to end a run of three successive defeats that has briefly halted their fine start to the season.

The Verdict

Leeds fans will be cheering on their players next month as playing in a World Cup is likely to be the pinnacle for each of them.

They have all been handed tough ties and will do very well to achieve their objectives, but for now they have to focus on Leeds.

It's not a bad situation for the Yorkshire club as the players will need to play well to ensure they get a spot in the international setup for the crucial upcoming games.
