Japan international admits Premier League 'frustration' over game time

Daniel Farke has been forced into a number of difficult decisions after Leeds United embarked on their return to the Premier League.

With a hectic summer transfer window behind them and 10 new signings added to the Whites squad, the former Norwich City boss has a number of options in some key areas of the pitch.

With former Newcastle United star Sean Longstaff and midfield powerhouse Anton Stach impressing in the middle of the pitch following their summer arrivals, chances for a number of the Whites Championship title-winning midfielders have been few and far between.

For Ao Tanaka, a confirmed favourite of Farke's, that has meant just two Premier League starts after he was named in the starting 11 for the season's opening-night win against Everton and the heavy defeat at title contenders Arsenal just days later.
