Leeds United's Luke Murphy to miss start of season

Knee surgery will prevent Luke Murphy from featuring for Leeds United on the opening day of the Championship season.

Leeds United manager Uwe Rosler has confirmed that Luke Murphy will be sidelined for the start of the new Championship season.

The 25-year-old midfielder has been forced to undergo surgery on a knee injury that he suffered during a recent training session.

"It's very unfortunate for Luke, I was looking forward to see him in action," Rosler told the club's official website.

"He needed a minor operation to clear one or two things up and we expect him back within four to seven weeks."

The Whites will get their 2015-16 season underway with a home clash against Burnley on Saturday, August 8.
