Brenden Aaronson focused on US duty but upbeat over Leeds United’s survival run-in | OneFootball

Brenden Aaronson has parked Leeds United's relegation fight while on United States duty, yet he sees reasons to be optimistic about the Premier League run-in. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, his focus is on the national team this week.

The attacker is in camp for two pre-World Cup friendlies in Atlanta, with USMNT hosting Belgium and Portugal ahead of their home tournament this summer.

He said switching from club to country can be tough, and that his approach is to focus on daily improvement, so his attention is on the national team for now.

When he returns, potentially with his 58th cap, he believes Leeds can complete the job. Seven games remain and Leeds are four points clear of the drop in 15th.

He views the run-in as favourable compared to rivals, with home matches against Wolves and Burnley, the bottom two, plus trips to relegation-threatened Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham in the final weeks.

Aaronson called it a strong season for a promoted side and said the group believe they can secure the points required to achieve their goal.
