Leeds United U21s' promotion push held back as West Bromwich Albion clash postponed

Leeds United U21s Premier League 2 Division 2 match against West Bromwich Albion U21s on Monday night has been postponed due to an "unplayable" surface at Hednesford Town’s Keys Park Stadium.

Following an earlier pitch inspection, the surface was ruled inadequate for the game to go ahead between Leeds and West Brom. The Whites currently sit top of the division, three points clear of second-place Nottingham Forest, chasing an automatic promotion spot.

Paco Gallardo, who has returned to U21 duty following his brief stint with the first-team alongside Chris Armas and Michael Skubala prior to Javi Gracia's arrival, has seen his side play with a free-flowing confidence of late. But the postponement to Monday's game will hand the chance to Leeds' rivals to put the pressure back on the Whites as they now wait until Sunday for their next game against Sunderland.
