Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell seems set to be on the sidelines for a while.
Leeds United goalkeeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell has undergone surgery after breaking a bone in his hand, according to West Yorkshire Sport.
This means that the 19-year-old goalkeeper could be set for a spell on the sidelines.
Peacock-Farrell is not guaranteed a place in the Leeds starting lineup, but the teenager is a very talented and promising young goalkeeper.
The youngster, who faces competition from Rob Green, Marco Silvestri and Ross Turnbull for the goalkeeping spot, has already made his debut for the Whites’ first team.
The injury and subsequent spell on the sidelines will come as a blow to the youngster, but he should remain positive.
Leeds are going strong in the Championship at the moment and are in the running for a playoff spot.
Garry Monk’s side currently 11th in the league table with 16 points from 11 matches, just four points behind sixth-placed Birmingham City.
The West Yorkshire outfit will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Derby County away from home at the iPro Stadium in the Championship.
