Matteo To Miss Out

Last updated : 18 September 2003 By Kevin Markey

He is struggling with an ankle ligament injury and could be out for another couple of weeks.

In Matteo's absence, Leeds struggled in defence at Leicester on Monday and manager Peter Reid admits that his captain is unlikely to be fit in time.

"I would say this weekend might be too soon for Dominic, but we're optimistic about next weekend," Reid told the Leeds' official website.

"It was just unfortunate really, he went into the back of somebody and just over stretched a little bit. It was right at the end of the training session when it happened which makes it more disappointing. It's just the way it is.

"He seemed positive yesterday when I saw him though and hopefully we'll get him back soon."
