Summerville starts and loan trio return: Full Leeds United squad for Championship clash vs Portsmouth as things stand

Leeds United welcome Portsmouth to Elland Road for their Championship opener in less than a month

Leeds United have just four weeks to prepare for their return to competitive action, with the opening game of the Championship season at home to Portsmouth on Saturday, August 10. Daniel Farke’s side will be keen to bounce back from May’s play-off final defeat to Southampton and know a fast start could prove crucial to their promotion hopes.

Transfer activity has intensified in recent weeks with Joe Rothwell the latest arrival, joining on a season-long loan after the permanent signings of Joe Rodon and Alex Cairns. More ins and outs are expected between now and the August 30 deadline but the four weeks until the visit of Portsmouth will fly by and the matchday squad might not differ much from the one that Farke could pick now.

Below, the YEP has drawn up a potential starting line-up and bench for that season opener with the current squad, and there may be some tough decisions to make. As ever, things are subject to change quickly as the summer window rumbles on.
