Leeds United legend Whelan reveals details of Nketiah's injury

Former Leeds United player Noel Whelan has said it will take up to three weeks for Eddie Nketiah to recover from his abdominal injury.

The 20-year-old was poised to make his first Championship start at the weekend against Queen Park Rangers, but was not included in the matchday squad after Leeds announced on Twitter Nketiah had suffered an abdominal injury in training the day before.

The Whites won 2-0 on the afternoon and coach Marcelo Bielsa did not shed much light on the situation after the game, saying the duration Nketiah will be out for is not yet certain.
