Sean Longstaff - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Aims return in January Longstaff (calf) remains out for Sunday's clash against Sunderland and aims a return in January, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "No, no chance for Sean."

Impact Longstaff is still a bit far from making his return from a calf injury that has sidelined him for the last five games. The midfielder has resumed individual training and will be looking for a return in January. Until then, Ao Tanaka is expected to take on a larger role in the heart of the game for Leeds United.

Out a few more weeks Longstaff (calf) is beginning to train individually, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Sean is progressing and doing individual training."

Impact Longstaff is working his way back from injury and earning a first major update since then, as the midfielder has trained individually. This likely leaves the midfielder on track for his return, looking to be an option in the last week of the year. This continues to be a major loss for the club, as he was a regular starter, so they will hope for his return by the end of the new year, likely to immediately be placed in the starting XI once fit.

Missing weeks with calf injury Longstaff (calf) is out for the next four to six weeks due to a calf injury, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Sean is out with a calf injury, expected to be 4-6 weeks."

Impact Longstaff has suffered an injury this week and will hit the sidelines for an extended period, as the midfielder is deemed to miss four to six weeks with his calf injury. The club will now be without a regular starter, as their summer singing has yet to miss a start since the second match of the season. That said, this will force a change, with Ao Tanaka and Ilia Gruev likely to start in the midfield in his place while out.
