Scores, assists in friendly
Longstaff was the standout performer of Saturday's 3-2 preseason loss to Wrexham before being substituted at halftime as part of the club's rotation, according to Leeds Live.
Analysis: Longstaff set up Piroe's 29th minute goal with a cut-back before scoring the equalizer himself right on the stroke of halftime, showing composure to dummy and fire the ball into the corner from just inside the area. He had traveled with Leeds for preseason after his previous season ended early due to hernia surgery, and this performance is an encouraging sign of his progress toward full fitness. The midfielder started 10 of his 23 appearances last season, contributing two goals and two assists, and could see more of a rotational role this campaign. Longstaff is expected to continue building up his match fitness as preseason progresses.
Joins pre-season training
Longstaff (groin) has traveled with Leeds United for their pre-season, according to Isaac Johnson of Leeds Live.
Analysis: Longstaff had to end the last campaign a game early due to hernia surgery, but he is set to be an option for the start of the season, it seems, as he is joining his teammates for their pre-season tour. That said, he will use the next month to further his fitness levels and get back to 100 percent, likely to be feasible in this time. He started in 10 of his 23 appearances last season while scoring two goals and two assists, likely to earn more of a rotational role this season.
