Long Leeds United gap between games extends as Whites 21s fixture is postponed

A Leeds United wait will continue following the postponement of a Whites fixture which was set to mark a new dawn.

United's under-21s have not played since the middle of November when falling to a 2-1 defeat against Chelsea's under-21s in a Premier League Cup tie which proved boss Michael Skubala's last game in charge.

Skubala was appointed as new head coach of League One side Lincoln City two days later and under-18s boss Scott Gardner has since taken the reins of the club's under-21s.

Leeds announced after Skubala's departure that Gardner was taking up the new position on an interim basis and a new dawn was set to begin with Monday night's league clash against  Newcastle United's under-21s  Whitley Park.

The contest was set to mark United's first league game since the start of November but the fixture has been postponed due to the weather.

United's wait for a game will now extend to Thursday evening when they face Sparta Praha in a Premier League International Cup tie at the LNER Community Stadium in York (kick-off 7pm).

Tonight's game against Newcastle was subject to a pitch inspection but the game was officially called off at 12 noon, A new date for the fixture will be confirmed in due course.
