Midfielder Sean Longstaff has assessed Leeds United’s start to the new Premier League campaign.
New Whites star Sean Longstaff has saluted Leeds United’s start to the new Premier League campaign and eyeing a big double boost after the international break.
Saturday evening’s goalless draw against the Magpies followed the previous weekend’s 5-0 defeat at Arsenal but opening weekend 1-0 win at home to Everton, putting Daniel Farke’s newly-promoted side on four points from three games played.

Leeds headed into the first pause to the season with key midfield men Ethan Ampadu and Ao Tanaka injured and Longstaff says his men will be boosted by an “amazing” double boost upon the pair returning the other side of September’s internationals.

"I think four points before the break is very good but also the break comes at a good time.
"Hopefully none of the lads going away get injured, hopefully they come back fully fit.
