Leeds captain Liam Cooper has missed today's clash at Arsenal.

Cooper was pulled from the line-up last weekend against Machester City at the last moment when he was injured in the warm-up.

Despite the Scotland international returning to training last week and manager Jesse Marsch being optimistic he would play when he spoke during Friday's pre-match press conference, the Leeds head coach said Cooper's knee problem has not quite gone away.

"Liam Cooper is still feeling his knee a little bit and we just didn't want to take the risk of playing him now and potentially losing him for the next fixtures so we were a little bit more cautious with him," he told Sky Sports ahead of kick-off at the Emirates Stadium.
