Leeds United confirm USA tour squad as four miss out, Noah Okafor explanation and shirt numbers note | OneFootball

Leeds United have named their United States tour squad for matches against Wrexham, Sunderland and Liverpool. The club said Noah Okafor has an extended break after Switzerland’s World Cup quarter-final run, so he is not included.

The travelling party does not feature Largie Ramazani, Joe Gelhardt, Max Wober or Jack Harrison. Valencia interest is understood after Ramazani’s productive loan, 27 games, six goals and one assist.

Talks have taken place without agreement and a permanent move has not been ruled out. He is almost certain to leave this summer.

Gelhardt helped Hull win promotion on loan and last played for Leeds in October 2024, with his future lying elsewhere. Wober’s injury-hit year at Werder Bremen means a permanent deal appears unlikely, and his absence suggests he could depart.

Harrison has reportedly spoken to New England Revolution and a return to MLS would not surprise. He joined Fiorentina on loan in January and no permanent switch has materialised.

The travelling group mixes seniors and Under-21s, with others to join later after the World Cup: Alex Cairns, Alfie Cresswell, Anton Stach, Ao Tanaka, Brenden Aaronson, Callum Mills, Charlie Crew, Daniel James, Darryl Ombang, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Ethan Ampadu, Freddie Lane, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Harry Wilson, Ilia Gruev, Jaka Bijol, James Justin, Jayden Bogle, Jayden Lienou, Joe Rodon, Joel Piroe, Lucas Perri, Lukas Nmecha, Oliver Pickles, Rhys Chadwick, Rory Mahady, Sean Longstaff, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Tarik Muharemovic, Wilfried Gnonto.

Pre-season shirt numbers may change before the Premier League campaign.
