Eddie Howe could be without two key midfielders as Newcastle make the trip to Elland Road next weekend. The Magpies are fresh off the back of a 2-0 defeat to Premier League title hopefuls Arsenal, who are just the second side to beat the Toon on home soil this season.
Newcastle were without academy graduate Sean Longstaff for the clash with Mikel Arteta's side and he remains a doubt to face Leeds United. The midfielder, who may not be a household name, has been one of the standout performers for the Magpies this season and is going under the radar.
The Magpies could also be without midfield enforcer Joelinton who limped off the pitch in the defeat to the Gunners. If the Brazilian is ruled out of the clash, it means Joe Willock and Bruno Guimaraes are the only two senior central midfielders, which could pave the way for Anthony Gordon or Elliot Anderson to come into the side.
