Leeds United will face Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship this weekend.
Leeds United head coach Garry Monk has suggested on the club’s official website that Lewie Coyle will not feature against Sheffield Wednesday at home this weekend.
The Whites will take on Wednesday at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Monk has suggested that Coyle, who is 21 years of age and can operate as a right-back or as a right-winger, will not be fit to play in the Yorkshire derby.
“Lewie Coyle has picked up an injury to his foot, which is unfortunate, but everyone else will be available,” Monk told Leeds’s official website, while also adding that Charlie Taylor will not play against the Owls.
Coyle has featured in only three Championship matches for Leeds so far this season, creating two chances in the process.
The 21-year-old is largely a squad player at Elland Road, but the team will benefit from his presence on the substitutes’ bench in the coming weeks and months.
Leeds are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 58 points from 33 matches.
The Whites are level on points with sixth-placed Wednesday and are genuine contenders for the playoffs.
Monk’s side will head into the match against the Owls on the back of a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town away from home at Portman Road in the Championship.
