Morning Leeds-in 24 April: Alioski out for rest of season is just another blow for Leeds

The hits just keep coming.

This is bad, not just because Alioski has been reborn as a leftback under Marcelo Bielsa, but because this team is running on fumes right now. Roofe has come back from injury and hasn’t looked the same, Gaetano Berardi is back after he probably should be out, etc.

This team is limping to the finish line. May they cross it.

On to the links.
