Leeds Morning Round-Up, Tuesday 3rd November 2026: Okafor Under the Microscope as Leeds Eye Chelsea Trip
Leeds United's youngsters have a cup date to look forward to, with the U21s drawn against Hartlepool United in the National League Cup (LeedsUnited.com).
Elsewhere, there's plenty of debate over Noah Okafor, with LeedsLive assessing whether the £18m forward is living up to his price tag - he's described as a "hero" figure for the club but two recurring issues are said to be holding back his progress (LeedsLive).
Looking ahead, the Yorkshire Evening Post flags up a disciplinary worry as Leeds prepare to travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea after the international break, with one Leeds player in danger of picking up a ban due to their yellow card tally - interestingly, Chelsea's Cole Palmer is on the same number of cautions but isn't at the same risk (Yorkshire Evening Post).
