Leeds have option to recall Lewie Coyle on January 6.
Leeds United are in need of a right-back immediately with Stuart Dallas sustaining a fractured foot.
Dallas was only a fill in at the position, with Luke Ayling and Gaetano Berardi out injured.
One solution in a month’s time is to recall Lewie Coyle, if they still need another option.
In exactly one month, Coyle will be available. BBC Sport report his loan at Fleetwood Town runs until January 6.
Fleetwood are likely to want to extend his loan, but Leeds should decide to bring him back.
Right now injuries have conspired to leave them looking thin at the position.
The Whites could play Ezgjan Alioski there, youngster Jamie Shackleton or Robbie Gotts, or look at a change of system.
Leeds have seven fixtures between now and January 6, so Coyle is anything but an immediate solution.
Yet he does represent a bit of light at the end of the tunnel if Leeds continue to look light at the position.
Extending his loan could be a mistake and Leeds should bring him back to fight for his place, and as insurance, even if Luke Ayling has returned by January 6.
