More Leeds farce as opponents fail to show!

Leeds United's preseason has kicked off in farce.

Leeds had been due to play Romanian side Viitorul Constanta in Santa Cristina, Italy, on Sunday.

But after the no-show boss Dave Hockaday was forced to pit two Leeds XIs against each other.

The club said on Twitter: "Our game with Viitorul Constanta has been forced to be called off due to the Romanian side not turning up at the ground.

"United will now field two Leeds XIs that will play against each other in the absence of an opposition for the travelling supporters."
