Leeds United duo hit back at claims of dressing room disharmony.
Leeds players have hit back at suggestions of a lack of team spirit after a photo surfaced on social media.
The Whites lost 4-1 at home to Cardiff City and were reduced to 10 men at half-time.
After the game a photo was posted on Twitter of the players in the dressing room nearly all looking at their mobile phones and not conversing – sparking claims of a lack of team spirit.
Club captain Liam Cooper and winger Stuart Dallas have hit back, stating that the photo was four hour before kick-off and the images distort real events.
They claimed there is a ban on mobile phones in the lead up to the game.
Leeds have not won a single game in 2018 and performances have been poor.
The loss against Cardiff was the worst of the season so far, with the game over by half-time at 3-0 down and a man down.
This row over a leaked photo is not ideal but it could lead to the players getting fired up – and that ultimately is what fans want to see, passion and pride – leading to positive results once again.
