It’s the news no one wanted to hear, or see for that matter. On top of the absences of Jamie Shackleton, Eddie Nketiah, Adam Forshaw and Gjanni Alioski vs Blackburn this weekend, it appears Leeds may be hit by another.

That of Luke Ayling. Ayling’s significant other has appeared to post a photo of Luke looking a bit under the weather and describing him as “poorly”. @lufcsnapchats was on hand to share the photo on his twitter stream…

Just how this may alter Leeds’ line-up, we shall see. However, the other immediate options at right-back are Stuart Dallas, who started there when Ayling was suffering his previous injury earlier on in the season, and Gaetano Berardi who is a natural right-back, though has been employed in a more central defensive system under Marcelo Bielsa.

This may be a touch and go injury, though it is highly likely Luke Ayling has missed training if he is carrying a sick bug. This, therefore means that his chances of selection will decrease.
