Redningsmannen ute med lårskade ? KAN VI FÃ… NOE POSITIVT SNART, TAKK !
Thigh's the limit for Kev
By Phil Hay
Kevin Nicholls' Leeds United debut will be further delayed after the midfielder injured his thigh in training.
The former Luton captain was in contention for his first appearance in a Leeds shirt against Sunderland tomorrow night, but United's medical staff were assessing the damage today.
Nicholls, pictured, returned to first team training last Tuesday after a month on the sidelines with knee ligament trouble, but his eagerly-anticipated comeback has lasted for less than a week.
The 27-year-old – signed from Luton for £700,000 in July – was originally injured on his first day of pre-season training with United.
Boss Kevin Blackwell said: "It's unfortunate for Kevin because he's worked incredibly hard to get back to a position where he can train."
Nicholls had an outside chance of making the squad for Sunday's 1-0 defeat to Wolves, but despite failing to win a place in Blackwell's 16, was expected to be given his first appearance against Sunderland.
The Newham-born midfielder has already missed six league games, and Blackwell is desperate to remove his most expensive summer signing from the roll of absentees which has hampered Leeds since the start of the season.
