LEEDS UNITED WILL be without Ezgjan Alioski for the rest of the season after the makeshift full-back suffered a torn meniscus in last night’s defeat to Brentford.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side lost 2-0 at Griffin Park in a huge blow to their hopes of automatic promotion from the Championship.
The play-offs look to be beckoning for Leeds and they will have to play their remaining games without key performer Alioski, who went off 12 minutes into the contest in West London and will be out for at least six weeks.
Alioski has started all 44 of Leeds’ Championship games this season, scoring seven goals and providing five assists.
Leeds round off their regular campaign against Aston Villa and relegated Ipswich Town.

Roy always says it as he sees it- no filter but unadulterated Truth.
Gotta love it
Rashford: bare minimum to work hard. How about scoring a goal? 8 hours and 47 mins without a goal from open play and yet this guy keeps starting!!! So so overrated
@Adrian Newman: and who do you suggest starts ahead of him? Sanchez, Lukaku? At the moment he’s by far the first name on the team sheet.
@Adrian Newman: I enjoyed watching UTD’s resurgence under ole these past few months, a bit like I did the tiger comeback, and as a gooner and someone who thinks Tiger is a proper toerag this just means that I enjoy seeing sport played with the right amount of passion/skill ratio..
But let’s remember, money divides people from their moral standings, their senses and their motives.. players have too much power now with the agent era, Ferguson saw the writing on the wall and so the story went… I’d love to see the Pogba’s and the Sanchez’s of football get sacked for not performing to the standards they’ve sold themselves at..
If rashford was able to take half the clear goal scoring opportunities he had this season united would be in a much stronger position regarding champions league next season….. His composure is poor at best
Rashford wants to sign a new contract for €200,000 per week. A joke.
Wouldn’t you love to have Roy involved in the United set that would be one way to clear out some of the players
@james mccarthy:
Director of football. He’d be the right man for the shake up. Fred wouldn’t have lasted candlelight. He’s spot on in what he said too. I’ll be the first lad to admit that I’m one of United’s biggest critics on here, regardless of being a United supporter. Last night was by a country mile, the worst performance I’ve seen from them in as long as I can remember. Completely gutless. De Gea has to go in the summer too. I wouldn’t begrudge him it either, he’d have 4 CL medals now if he got his move to Madrid the last time.
