"It is emphasised that this agreement should not be interpreted as any admission of wrongdoing by the player," the club said on its official website.

"Matters will be resolved within this period in accordance with the standard form of the player's contract."

The club held what it described as a "constructive and helpful meeting" on Thursday with Morris's solicitor Angus McBride and Deputy Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers' Association Mick McGuire.

Morris will miss Leeds' next three matches, Liverpool tomorrow, Manchester United on Tuesday and Arsenal next Saturday.
