Leeds United’s road to the 2022/23 Premier League season takes them to Australia in pre-season with The Whites facing three warm up matches Down Under.
Jesse Marsch’s side kicked off their summer schedule with a 4-0 friendly win at home to Blackpool before jetting off, and they wrap up pre-season at home to Cagliari on July 31.
The big news surrounding the Leeds camp is about their absent star man: Brazilian international Raphinha agreed terms on a move to Barcelona on Wednesday.
Marsch confirmed the deal ahead of the Brisbane game, with attention now switching to the new faces arriving at Elland Road in recent weeks.

HALF TIME: Brisbane Roar 1 Leeds United 2
Marsch’s Leeds have looked impressive in their first outing in Australia, with James firing them in front, before the former Manchester United star cleverly teed up Gelhardt for a second.
However, a Brisbane response before the break will impact the half time team talk, as Marsch looks for a win in Queensland.
41 Mins: Brisbane HIT BACK!!
A setback for Leeds as Brisbane score from their first meaningful attack. Pinball inside the box is not dealt with by Marsch’s back line and trialist Joe Knowles keeps his cool to poke home past Kristoffer Klaesson.
🎯 Joe Knowles makes his mark!

26 Mins: 2-0 LEEEEEEEEEEEDS
Leeds have burst into life in spectacular style with two goals inside two minutes!!
