Leeds United comeback over Liverpool highlights set‑piece impact

Leeds United overturned a 2‑0 deficit to beat Liverpool 4‑2 in a pre‑season friendly in Chicago, with all four second‑half goals coming from substitutes. Dominic Calvert‑Lewin scored twice from long throws and set‑piece deliveries, underscoring the importance of those tactics for Leeds next season. Defender Gabriel Gudmundsson left the match early with a hamstring injury.

Manchester United are addressing several injury concerns as the Premier League season approaches. New signing Youri Tielemans, who missed Belgium’s World Cup quarter‑final, has begun training at Carrington. Striker Benjamin Sesko, returning from a shin injury, is on track but has not featured in recent friendlies. Lisandro Martínez is expected to recover from a muscle strain sustained in the World Cup final, while midfielder Kobbie Mainoo is also nearing full fitness. United recently secured a 2‑1 pre‑season win over Atletico Madrid in Stockholm.
