Supporters of Leeds United have recently flocked to a tweet from the Yorkshire Evening Post’s Graham Smyth which relayed the Scotland squad.
During the upcoming international break, Scotland face Serbia first in a European Championships qualifying match (per Sky Sports).
Steve Clarke’s side then faces both Slovakia and Israel on the 15th and 18th November in two UEFA Nations League matches.
For the three games, Liam Cooper is the only Leeds player to have been called up to their squad (per Scotland National Team).
This news was relayed to supporters of the Whites by Smyth who stated: ‘International football is back, again’ (per Graham Smyth).
Lots of fans then flocked to this tweet to air their thoughts.
So, what did these Leeds fans have to say about Graham Smyth’s tweet which relayed the Scotland squad?
International football is back, again. https://t.co/WPVb8aobnO

Cooper must not be allowed to play. Send an impersonator instead

These international breaks have actually felt invasive this season. They’ve not allowed any teams to get into any kind of rhythm. Daft.

During his international career, the 29-year-old defender has made just four appearances for Scotland in which he has neither scored a goal nor assisted one (per Transfermarkt).
He made his debut for his country in September last year during a 2-1 defeat against Russia.
Would you prefer it if Liam Cooper did not go on international duty?
Yes, he should not go
No, it's good experience
Honestly sick of international football. Have been for years, but this isnjust unnecessary in the midst of a pandemic. Utter lunacy

It’s bad enough playing two games but plane free in this situation is ridiculous

International football is so pointless and uninteresting.#lufc

Cooper has only recently returned from a groin injury which he picked up during a previous international break with Scotland (per Leeds Live).
Due to the Scotsman’s injury issue, he has made only four Premier League appearances for the Whites so far this term in which he has earned a 6.92/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
That will Cooper injured again

Nooooooooo! ??

As can be seen in these responses from Leeds supporters, many of them are not keen on the idea of Cooper leaving on international duty with Scotland.
