Leeds United defender Giuseppe Bellusci is expected to miss the final two games of the season due to a foot injury.
The 25-year-old was one of six players to withdraw from the Whites' squad ahead of the recent defeat against Charlton Athletic, which sparked rumours that president Massimo Cellino had told certain players to go on strike.
Summer signing Bellusci is now likely to sit out the remaining weeks of the campaign, after an MRI scan revealed that he requires specialist treatment.
Bellusci has made 30 appearances for Leeds in all competitions in his debut season in English football, scoring two goals during that time.
