Leeds United have been handed a massive injury blow this week.
Defender Luke Ayling has picked up a knee injury and BBC are reporting that the 27-year-old will be sidelined for two months.
The Championship star is a regular starter for Marcelo Bielsa’s side and his absence will be disappointing for the fans and the players.
It will be interesting to see how Bielsa copes with his absence for the next few weeks.
Last season Ayling missed a chunk of games as well and the player will be devastated with another significant injury this season.
Leeds are looking to secure promotion to the Premier League this season and losing someone like Ayling for two months will be a considerable blow.
Speaking to the media, Leeds’ head of medicine and performance explained that the club staff will do their best to get the player back on the pitch as soon as possible.
The fans too to Twitter to share their views on the latest blow.
Here are some of the best reactions.
Shit news about Ayling. Will be sorely missed. Hope Berardi will be available soon

Aye, bloody gutting for Luke! One of our consistent players! We will have to sign a few now in Jan

Oh well that’s just fucking peachy that is.

To be fair; this isn’t great news but it could have been a lot worse. Hopefully have him, Brown and Bamford back for the start of January?
In the meantime it’s a big blow especially with Berardi still out. The amount of injuries we’ve had this season already is concerning
