Why have they been asked to come back?

Why would Leeds tell Ben White anything? His business is nothing to do with them.

Sauce would appear to be The Athletic ............................
I'm calling bolleaux on this one - White isn't a Leeds and they have no more power to tell him to come back than I have. Even if there were negotiations afoot about transferring him to Leeds - which I very much doubt - any instructions to White would still have to come from us, not The Complete and Utter Champions of Europe.

The article mentions nothing about White.

Leeds have advised their players to cut short holidays in Spain after new quarantine rules meant there was a risk of some first-team stars missing the start of pre-season ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.
It is thought that 70-plus Championship players travelled to Spain after the regular season ended last Wednesday. But Leeds have taken proactive steps to ensure their players returned swiftly after government guidelines changed.
On Saturday, it was decided people travelling from the UK to Spain, as well as the Canaries and Balearic Islands, would have to self-isolate for 14 days on their return following a spike in coronavirus cases in mainland Spain.
It followed encouragement from the government to book holidays overseas after the easing of lockdown restrictions.
While there are exemptions from the rules, especially for sports stars competing in elite events, that does not apply if they are on holiday — which is the case for the Leeds players.
Two groups of first-team players flew out to Spain over the weekend, with three — Kalvin Phillips, Tyler Roberts and Ian Poveda — travelling to a villa on the mainland and a further seven going to Ibiza with their partners. Luke Ayling, Gjanni Alioski, Stuart Dallas, Liam Cooper, Pablo Hernandez, Patrick Bamford and Barry Douglas were in the latter group.
The Athletic understands that while most players were only intending to stay for the weekend, meaning they could return and finish a fortnight of quarantine before pre-season began, others had intended to stretch their holidays until later in the week.
That could have put them at risk of missing out on some pre-season training ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.
Another player and his partner were intending to fly to Ibiza from London on Monday morning but have now cancelled their trip.
Those players who did travel to Spain will now all return either directly to the United Kingdom, where they will isolate for two weeks in accordance with the guidelines, or go onto another location which has an air bridge with the UK. They will then carry out some of their period in isolation in the second location.
Leeds are understood to have been exceptionally proactive with the process, seeking out medical advice on what steps should be taken. They then informed the players as news of the guidelines changing broke on Saturday and encouraged them to return.
The West Bromwich Albion players Jonathan Leko and Kyle Edwards joined Phillips, Roberts and Poveda. A larger group of their team-mates were intending to fly out to Spain but changed their plans after the revised guidelines were announced.
They are not expected to start pre-season training for three weeks.
The new Premier League season starts on September 12, with Leeds competing in it for the first time in 16 years.

No but White is with Phillips in that group of players so assume if they come home so will he.

If you read Leeds Live you'll see that 'Leeds United have been put off by our asking price of £40m'. So I think talk of holidays and quarantine is all a bit irrelevant.
So when was that?

Or just celebrating winning the league with his former loan club?
Wouldn't look into it too much
I’m not, I’m just saying he is there with the Leeds squad , so you can see why if the advice was to come back why he’d be included

His loan technically runs until the transfer window opens and his registration is transferred back to us. I’m sure the deal we agreed with Leeds for the restart would have included the play offs just in case Leeds did a Leeds again.
So it has then.

Oh oh. Leeds fans! I know you’re lurking here. What’s this?
Who has just excitedly liked the Lallana signing on Instagram?
(And it didn’t take long, he must have been waiting like other Albion fans...)
OH DEAR LEEDS!

Do you listen to the news?
Nope never - all doom and gloom and often bullshit - is it a covid thing? Oh is it the 14 day quarantine thing?

Blimey, you're a ray of sunshine aren't you
The point I was trying to make was that fans of a certain Northern giant were overjoyed by the fact that Mr White was spending his holidays with Leeds players, who would, no doubt, be in his ears a lot over the duration of the holiday about coming back to their great club. And that can't happen now, as holidays are curtailed.
I never said White was mentioned, just using inference.
