Austin blow for Leeds

Leeds will be without midfielder Rodolph Austin when they take on Ipswich on Wednesday.

The 29-year-old, who was taken off in the second half of the 3-2 defeat to Watford at the weekend, will be sidelined for the next two to three weeks with a thigh strain.

Boss Neil Redfearn could welcome back Steve Morison after he missed Saturday's defeat with a groin injury, but midfielders Granddi Ngoyi (thigh) and Tommaso Bianchi (knee) are still on the sidelines.

Giuseppe Bellusci is available after serving the second game of a two-match ban last time out.

Ipswich boss Mick McCarthy will still be missing a host of key players when his side make the trip north.

This game looks set to come too soon for Teddy Bishop (ankle), who is joined on the sidelines by Darren Ambrose, Stephen Hunt, Luke Hyam, Noel Hunt and David McGoldrick.

On-loan Leicester forward Chris Wood made his Town debut in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Norwich and he could be in line for his first start.

Luke Varney and Jonathan Parr also came off the bench against the Canaries and are vying for places in the starting line-up.
