Leeds United were held to a goalless draw by Crystal Palace at Elland Road this weekend. And now the whites have another issue to worry about over the next few weeks.
In a game where the home side should have won, Daniel Farke’s men were poor. They had chances to take the lead in the game but could not finish.
Leeds had a bit of a scare when Tyrick Mitchell scored, before the goal was ruled out.
This draw means that the Whites go into the international break unbeaten, but now there is a huge missed chance to get more points on the board.
Up next for Farke’s side is a trip to the Emirates in a few weeks. Premier League holders entered the international break with a defeat and will be hoping to bounce back when Leeds visit.

Harry Wilson missed the game at Elland Road on Sunday, with Daniel Farke revealing that the midfielder had a quad problem.
He was expected to be out for the duration of the break.
BBC Sports have now confirmed that Wilson has pulled out of the Wales squad. Craig Bellamy’s side will face Portugal in the Nations League, Norway and Denmark in the coming weeks.
Wales have drafted Charlie Savage as a replacement for the injured Wilson.

Harry Wilson injury is a blow to the player
Getting injured at this point of the campaign is not a good thing for any player, especially Wilson, who has had a mixed start to life at Leeds United.
He came in on a free transfer, and many had high expectations for him considering how well he played last season. Leeds fought off the likes of Aston Villa and Benfica to land the former Fulham star on a free transfer.
In six games in all competitions, the midfielder has just one assist.
But that doesn’t really tell the whole story about his start to the season.
Wilson has been great in team play, and linking the team’s attacks high up the pitch. He was unlucky to have his goal ruled out for offside early in the campaign.
This latest injury means more time on the shelf, and getting back into the first team will not be easy.
This weekend saw Jean-Matteo Bahoya make his debut. With Brenden Aaronson and Noah Okafor competing for the same slot in attack, Wilson will have to land on his feet quickly after he recovers.
