Stone woe for Whites

Leeds United midfielder Steve Stone is set to spend at least the next two months on the sidelines after aggravating a groin injury.
The 35-year-old lasted only 32 minutes of Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Cardiff before succumbing to the problem.
Whites boss Kevin Blackwell told the club's official website that Stone will be out of action for "anything between two and three months".
The news is a major blow to the former England international, who sat out most of last season with an Achilles injury.
