Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch says the club are being 'cautious' over Liam Cooper after the Whites' skipper was absent from the matchday squad to face Arsenal. Cooper was pulled from the line-up last weekend against Machester City at the last moment when he was injured in the warm-up.
Despite the Scotland international returning to training last week and Marsch being optimistic he would play when he spoke during Friday's pre-match press conference, the Leeds head coach said Cooper's knee problem has not quite gone away.
"Liam Cooper is still feeling his knee a little bit and we just didn't want to take the risk of playing him now and potentially losing him for the next fixtures so we were a little bit more cautious with him," he told Sky Sports ahead of kick-off at the Emirates Stadium.]
