Leeds’ Liam Cooper ruled out for 2-3 weeks with hamstring injury

Leeds United have confirmed that club captain Liam Cooper will be out for the next 2-3 weeks with an injury.

The defender picked up a hamstring injury during a warm-up session before the Swansea game.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are already short of defenders and Cooper’s absence will be a major blow. The fans will be expecting a signing now.

The Argentine had to field a makeshift defence last time out and his side struggled to keep it tight at the back.

The Whites can still sign players on loan and they should look to bolster their defensive unit immediately.
