Leeds face ANOTHER injury blow as defender Charlie Cresswell dislocates shoulder in training, with Marcelo Bielsa left with only NINE senior first team players for Saturday's game with Arsenal and three players on brink of suspensions

Leeds have suffered yet another injury blow ahead of Saturday's visit of Arsenal after centre-half Charlie Cresswell dislocated his shoulder in training.

The England Under-21 defender was in contention to make just his second Premier League start against the Gunners.

But Cresswell has now joined an absentee list which has hit double figures, with Marcelo Bielsa’s squad down to the bare bones ahead of the busy festive schedule.

The absence of Cresswell leaves Marcelo Bielsa's stricken squad even further stretched

The 19-year-old, who has also made three substitute appearances, was in line to play because centre-backs Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk are both injured, Junior Firpo is suspended and Robin Koch has only just recovered from illness.
