Leeds’ Alioski to miss out on Premier League promotion push

Leeds United’s Ezgjan Alioski will miss out on the club’s final push for promotion to the Premier League after sustaining a torn meniscus in the away defeat by Brentford on Monday.

The Whites lost 2-0 to Brentford, further damaging their quest for automatic promotion after a 2-1 loss to Wigan at Elland Road on Friday.

Play-off hopefuls Aston Villa travel to Elland Road on Sunday, before Leeds travel to Ipswich for their final game of the regular season, but they will be without Alioski.

Leeds’ director of football Victor Orta put out a statement on Alioski’s injury, saying: “We are disappointed by the news that Gjanni is unlikely to play again this season.
