Burnley injury crisis ahead of Elland Road trip

Scott Parker faces a tough selection dilemma ahead of Saturdays clash at Elland Road between Leeds Utd and Burnley.

The Clarets boss currently has nine players on the treatment table, many of whom have missed International duty due to various knocks and ailments. Manuel Benson, Maxime Esteve, Jordan Beyer, Hjalmar Ekdal, Aaron Ramsey, Enock Agyei, Mike Tresor, Nathan Redmond and Hannes Delcroix are among those receiving treatment - it will be interesting to see how many miraculously recover in time for the weekend.

Leeds and Burnley have both been hotly tipped for automatic promotion. Any kind of advantage could stand either side in good stead for the long and arduous season ahead. Leeds are one of five sides still unbeaten in the league, whilst Burnley's 1-0 loss at the Stadium of Light see them one point and two places below the Whites in the Championship table.





Coops to pen two year deal with CSKA

Former skipper Liam Cooper is set to pen a two year contract at CSKA Sofia later today after agreeing personal terms with the Bulgarian outfit. The 33 year old spurned Leeds offer of a twelve month deal, always insisting he wanted a two year contract. He held talks with Blackburn and Hull, but they too were unwilling to match his demands. Finally, after spreading his search abroad, CSKA agreed a deal that will see Coops through to the Summer of 2026.
