The Leeds United star might be out for quite some time.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa addressed the media after yesterday’s 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest at Elland Road, and delivered some bad news regarding the injury sustained by Luke Ayling, as quoted by Leeds Live.
The 27-year-old left the field of play after only 25 minutes against Aitor Karanka’s men, as Leeds’ lengthy injury list continues to pile up.
The Whites have struggled in recent weeks, and losing someone with Ayling’s quality and experience for a prolonged period of time will be a major blow for Bielsa and his troops.
The Argentine spoke to reporters after his side’s draw with Forest, and delivered some bad news for Leeds fans regarding Ayling’s injury, as quoted by Leeds Live:
“I think it’s an important injury.”
With Gaetano Berardi and Barry Douglas already out injured, having Ayling unavailable for action will surely harm Leeds’ hopes of climbing the Championship table.
Stuart Dallas will likely have to fill in at right-back until one of Bielsa’s injured players return to action, and Bielsa will be hoping that the Northern Irishman is up to the task.
