GOALKEEPER TURNBULL UNDERGOES SURGERY

United stopper ruled out after suffering a broken ankle...

Goalkeeper Ross Turnbull is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken ankle in a behind-closed-doors friendly at Thorp Arch last week.

Ross has since undergone a successful operation on the injury and has already started his rehabilitation programme for what is set to be a "long-term" absence.

The 30-year-old, a summer a signing from Barnsley, has featured once in the first-team so far this season, coming into the side for August’s Capital One Cup trip to Doncaster Rovers.

He has, however, been ever-present on the bench as back-up for Marco Silvestri.

Everybody at Leeds United wishes Ross all the best in his rehab and for a speedy recovery.
