Leeds goalkeeper Ross Turnbull is facing a spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery on a broken ankle.

The 30-year-old keeper suffered the injury in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the club's Thorp Arch training ground last week.

The club said that the former Chelsea and Middlesbrough man was set for a "long-term absence".

Turnbull has made one appearance for the club since joining from Barnsley in the summer.
