Leeds United boss Steve Evans has revealed that full-back Lewie Coyle will miss tomorrow's match against Cardiff City with an ankle injury.
The youngster, a product of Leeds' youth academy, was forced to leave the field on a stretcher following a collision with Bolton's Jay Spearing in the Whites' 2-1 win over the Trotters on Saturday.
The extent of the injury is yet to be assessed as the 20-year-old will undergo scans on his ankle before anything more is revealed.
Evans though insists that Coyle will definitely miss tomorrow's game, but also revealed that it is "more of a seven-day injury" and expects the full-back to be back for their game against Blackburn Rovers next Saturday.
“Coyley is going to miss the game", Evans said to his club's official site.
