Nigel Martyn would be willing to help solve Leeds United’s goalkeeping crisis… but has doubts about his physical capability.

Leeds are expected to turn to one of their youth team keepers, Will Huffer and Kamil Miazek, for Saturday’s visit of Bristol City.

That is unless the Whites can source an emergency loan – or free agent – signing ahead of Friday’s 12pm registration deadline.

Jamal Blackman was due to replace Bailey Peacock-Farrell against the Robins, but suffered a broken leg while playing for Leeds’ Under-23s last week, before the latter picked up a minor problem of his own.

Asked on Twitter whether he could do his old side a favour, Martyn replied:

Martyn spent seven years at Leeds before his 2003 transfer to Everton.

And it was with the Toffees that the now 52-year-old hung up his boots after three seasons on Merseyside.
