Leeds United discover new dates for 2022/23 season as young Whites league fixtures released

Leeds United’s Premier League campaign begins in ten days time at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers just over two months since the final day victory over Brentford that retained the Whites’ Premier League status.

United’s Under-21 side will get their campaign underway one day earlier, away to Derby County’s development side, hoping to start on the front foot after the misfortune of relegation last year.

The youngsters were detrimentally affected by first-team injuries throughout the 2021/22 campaign, with star players at Under-23 level – as the age group was previously referred – required to bulk out the senior squad.

This season, the first-team group has been supplemented by several signings, while younger players situated between the two groups are a year older and closer to more regular senior involvement.

This is likely to mean the Under-21 squad – as it will be known henceforth – experiences considerably less upheaval which should only increase the team’s chances of a successful season.
