Teenage Leeds star Joe Gelhardt has suffered an untimely blow in his breakthrough campaign after being ruled out for a month with an ankle injury.
The exciting forward, 19, has had a huge impact in his six Premier League appearances since his debut in October, scoring one goal, setting up another and winning two penalties.
However, Gelhardt and fellow forward Tyler Roberts have joined an injury list which now totals eight players, even with striker Patrick Bamford available for Sunday's FA Cup clash at West Ham after recovering from a hamstring problem.
