Alan Smith has pinned his former side Leeds United’s struggles on the volume of injuries they have suffered from this season.
The Whites’ squad has been hit by a number of absences to key players this season, with the likes of Kalvin Phillips, Patrick Bamford, Liam Cooper and Luke Ayling all having suffered long-term injuries at different stages of the campaign.
During his time at Leeds, manager Marcelo Bielsa has always liked to keep a small, settled squad, which has ultimately been stretched to its absolute maximum this season.
