Leeds United defender was injured in weekend game.
Leeds United defender Luke Ayling has been pictured on crutches after the weekend’s game against Nottingham Forest.
Ayling was substituted in the 25th minute at Elland Road with Leeds 1-0 down at the time.
The right-back’s official injury status is unclear, but a picture posted on social media by his partner is not a good sign.
It shows Ayling on crutches in his home wearing a large leg brace.
Leeds’ next fixture is on Sunday away to Wigan Athletic and at this point it seems unlikely Ayling will be available.
Last season Leeds struggled badly without Ayling when he suffered an injury at the turn of the year.
His absence coincided with a sharp drop off in form and Leeds need to cope better without him if they are without the defender for a prolonged period.
