The final games of the international break are underway, with Leeds United stars featuring. The Whites went into the break in good form, going unbeaten in the league.
Daniel Farke’s side have started the season on a competitive note, going through their first five fixtures with great performances.
The players have contributed a lot this season; new signings James Trafford and Tarik Muharemovic have been standouts. And the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Ethan Ampadu have picked up where they left off last year.
Calvert-Lewin has scored four goals in five games in all competitions for Leeds this season.
Leeds United star’s rating leaves England duo baffled

His form saw him earn another callup to the England side under Thomas Tuchel.
The striker did not make the cut for the World Cup, but this time around, he has a chance to make his claim in the team for the backup striker role. Tuchel has been vocal about finding a backup for Harry Kane and has tried many options.
Calvert-Lewin has yet to score during this international break, having played just 13 minutes in England games.
Following his form for Leeds United last season, the England star earned a boost in this year’s EAFC 27. Three Lions players Anthony Gordon, Morgan Rogers and Jude Bellingham were asked to guess their teammates’ ratings in different categories.
When it came to shooting, Calvert-Lewin was rated 77 by EAFC, which surprised both Gordon and Rogers.
”Nah it’s a bit low, he’s a bagsman” Rogers said when asked if it was a fair rating on England’s YouTube channel.
”He’s a goalscorer” Gordon added when discussing the rating

Calvert-Lewin deserves a shot under Thomas Tuchel
The Leeds striker has been on the bench since his cameo against Spain. He did not even come on during the huge win over Croatia.
At some point, questions need to be asked about Thomas Tuchel’s plans for him. He called up the former Everton man and has not given him any fair chances to make an impact.
Calvert-Lewin continues to impress with his club, having had a great start to the season.
If he is just going to be on the bench every time for England, then there may be no need to call him up for every international break. Leeds need him fresh and healthy for their games.
