Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has confirmed a major setback for right-back Djed Spence as he missed out in the 3-0 win at Millwall with a knee issue.
The Whites have their second win of the season as Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter ran riot at the New Den to win 3-0, sealing back-to-back clean sheets in the process.
While there is seemingly no surgery required for the right-back, such a setback will see him out for a prolonged period, it looks like.
Ayling was much better today in a game that was a serious test for him defensively, but he held his own and set up a number of attacks too.
However, Spence would be one of the best in his position in the league and it doesn’t help us building momentum to have him out.
As I’m sure you’ll know, there aren’t many historic rivalries in football that run as deep as the two roses of Lancashire and Yorkshire going head to head.
At 17, I’m not really old enough to fully gauge the fierce rivalry my dad and his generation encountered and have since told us story after story about.
Hearing about the classic clashes excited me but nothing could really prepare me for the intensity of the Reds finally getting to play Leeds again in 2020/21.
Being inside the walls of Elland Road, I could finally attest to the sheer magnitude of this fixture and the powerful hold it had on both sets of fans.
