In a further development, the League confirmed that is has refused to sanction Andrea Tabanelli’s loan from Cagliari to Leeds.
The 23-year-old moved to Elland Road shortly before last Friday’s transfer deadline - a switch organised by Cellino - and he spent this week waiting for the League to decide whether the deal was valid.
The League’s statement said: “Leeds United have been informed that the Football League has refused the registration of Andrea Tabanelli as the transfer did not comply with League regulations.â€
