Jack Harrison has warned Newcastle United that injury-ravaged Leeds United will continue to show 'character' despite their current adversity.
Marcelo Bielsa's side recorded an important 3-2 win away at West Ham on Sunday afternoon to pull the Whites nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Former Manchester City winger Harrison scored all three to earn the victory for the visitors, who saw Junior Firpo and Adam Forshaw join their lengthy injury list.

However, Harrison is proud of the team's response and insists Bielsa's side will not be making any excuses ahead of the visit of the Magpies.
He told Sky Sports: "I think it's important to get these matches and show character and build off that, hopefully we can get on a good run of form coming in to the end of the season now and yeah, we've just got to take it game by game and see what happens.
"[We'll prepare] exactly the same way as we prepared for this one. We're going to [be] working hard all week and analysing and everything we can to make sure we can get the three points."
