Newcastle United boss Rafael Benitez has generally overlooked his side’s youngsters so far this season.
Roberts and Sorensen have both impressed at development squad level for Newcastle this term, but Rafael Benitez has not picked either of the pair.
Longstaff is in a similar boat, although he appears to be closer to the first-team.
And the midfielder is hoping that his teammates are given opportunities in the second half of the campaign.
“If you look at Callum (Roberts) and Elias (Sorensen), they haven’t been able to go out on loan, but they’ve used the Checkatrade games to build their profile,” he said.
“They’ve been the top players in those games and it’s got them recognised. They’ve shown they can do it in these games, and hopefully that’ll give them a chance in the second half of the year, either here or on loan.”
Roberts was one of the stars of Newcastle’s pre-season, but he doesn’t seem to have done enough to convince Benitez to give him a chance.
Sorensen, meanwhile, has scored with great frequency at development squad level, but Benitez has preferred his senior options.
Newcastle’s development squad are next in action later this evening, when they take on Macclesfield Town in the Checkatrade Trophy.
