Leeds United's U23 side were beaten 4-0 by Blackburn Rovers' development squad on Monday evening, despite head coach Mark Jackson naming a strong line-up.
The U23s have felt the effects of several first-team injuries this season, with various youngsters promoted to senior affairs in order to plug gaps left by the likes of Liam Cooper, Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford.
With a two-week break between fixtures, Leeds U23s were able to call on some of their more experienced members to do battle with Rovers at the Lancashire FA County Ground.
