Leeds United have confirmed that defender Luke Ayling has had surgery on his ankle – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter are frustrated on Twitter.
The Whites have announced on their official website a squad that will travel to Italy to play Serie A club Cagliari Calcio on Saturday evening in a pre-season game.
The club have explained that Ayling has not travelled with the squad due to his surgery and is going to be out of action “for a period”.
It’s unclear on when the 27-year-old will be in contention for selection, but he’s now missed picking up pre-season fitness and the start of the Championship is just around the corner.
Marcelo Biesla’s team kick off the league season on Sunday 4 August away to Bristol City and their squad is look slightly thin on the ground.
A selection of Leeds fans on social media are not pleased with the injury news, especially as their is now timeframe given on when he could be back.
