Leeds United news as teenage starlet Wilfried Gnonto receives Italy international call-up

Here are your Leeds United morning headlines for Sunday September 18.

Wilfried Gnonto named in Italy boss Roberto Mancini's Nations League squad

Leeds United forward Wilfried Gnonto has received another international call-up for Italy ahead of their September Nations League fixtures.

Roberto Mancini has once again named the new Leeds signing in his national team squad, with Italy set to take on England and Hungary.

Gnonto has already won four caps for the Azzurri to date and even managed to bag a goal against Germany in Italy's 5-2 June international defeat.

While he has yet to make his senior debut for Leeds follow his move from FC Zurich, Gnonto's call-up by Mancini is just another example of why the Whites signed him.

The 18-year-old has bags of potential and it looks as though the Whites may have pulled off a real coup in signing the Italian international for around £4m this summer.

How this weekend's results have left Leeds United in the Premier League table

With Leeds United's momentum after their good start to the 2022/23 Premier League campaign being halted due to back-to-back postponements, it'll be no surprise that they'll be sliding down the table while other sides get ahead of them.

Due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the Whites' match against Nottingham Forest was postponed along with the rest of the English top-flight but they've now become one of six teams that'll go into the October international break having only played six games.

Their match against Manchester United, which was scheduled for this weekend, was postponed due to the strain it would put on the police force who are working the Queen's funeral on Monday.

The postponements mean Leeds currently sit in eleventh with three teams below them also sitting on six games, those being Crystal Palace, Everton and West Ham.
