Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa may look to delve into the transfer market as defensive injuries continue to trouble the Yorkshire club.
During the summer, there were talks of Leeds signing a defender, but the Argentine was happy with the current set of players he inherited.
However, after Luke Ayling followed Gaetano Berardi into the treatment room after limping off in their 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest, the Argentine could be tempted to sign a defender.
The right back could miss at least two months of the season after suffering a medial collateral damager to his knee.
