Leeds United's Jesse Marsch backtracks on 'careless' criticism of Marcelo Bielsa training methods

Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch has backtracked on his apparent swipe at former club head coach Marcelo Bielsa and labelled his comments as "careless."

Earlier this month, Marsch told UK radio station talkSPORT that the Leeds squad was "over-trained" under Bielsa and his training methods played a role in the number of injuries suffered this season.

However, the American addressed the interview on Friday and said he didn't intend to take a dig at Bielsa.
