Leeds United’s Liam Cooper was left out of the squad today through injury.
Liam Cooper has issued a rallying call to his Leeds United team-mates on Twitter.
Leeds face Millwall at The Den this afternoon as Thomas Christiansen’s side look to protect quite a few accolades.
The Whites, who sit top of the Championship, are the only team left in the Football League who are yet to lose a game in all competitions this season.
In addition to that, United have not conceded a goal in their last six Championship games, dating back to a 3-2 win at Bolton on the first day of the season.
Centre-back and captain Cooper has played a massive role in that stunning run of form but a back injury sustained in Tuesday’s win over Birmingham City saw him left out of the squad today.
Nevertheless, the 26-year-old is clearly with his team-mates in spirit following a pre-match tweet on proceedings.
He is replaced in the first XI by 21-year-old defender Conor Shaghnessy and it will be interesting to see whether that change affects Leeds.
