Leeds United striker Jean-Kevin Augustin has been ruled out of this weekend's Championship clash with Huddersfield Town at Elland Road.

The 22-year-old has missed the Whites last two league outings - victories over Middlesbrough and Hull City last week - after picking up what the club have described as a minor hamstring strain.

United boss Marcelo Bielsa, though, has revealed that the RB Leipzig loanee will again not be available for selection ahead of Saturday afternoon's clash with the Terriers in LS11.

"[Jean-Kevin] Augustin is not ready yet," Bielsa told his pre-match press conference.

"It's going to be the same group as the last match."

Augustin has made three substitute appearances for the club since his arrival from his Bundesliga owners but is yet to be handed his full debut in West Yorkshire.

United's only other senior injury concern is midfielder Adam Forshaw, who has already been ruled out for the rest of the season after undergoing an operation in the United States in a bid to bring issues with a problematic hip injury to an end.
