Leeds United defender Luke Ayling has been ruled of the rest of the season.
Leeds United fans have called for Lewie Coyle to be recalled from his loan spell at Fleetwood Town, after Luke Ayling was ruled out for the season.
Ayling has picked up an ankle injury, which is set to keep him on the sidelines until the end of the campaign.
The loss of the 26-year-old right-back is a major blow to Leeds, and it leaves their options looking short.
Gaetano Berardi is likely to become Leeds’ first choice right-back, with new signing Laurens De Bock set to come in at left-back.
But Leeds fans want Coyle to be brought back to Elland Road, to ensure that they have adequate cover.
Coyle has suffered from a lack of first-team chances at Leeds over recent years, but is still considered a bright prospect.
Leeds loaned out Coyle to try and get him some first-team experience and he has impressed at Fleetwood.
The prospect has been a virtual ever present in Uwe Rosler’s side, making 22 appearances in League One so far.
