Leeds United can confirm Liam Cooper ruptured his plantar fascia during Sunday’s 2-2 Sky Bet Championship draw with Cardiff City.
As a result of the injury, the Whites captain is ruled out of action for up to eight weeks.
Crysencio Summerville, who scored Sunday’s late equaliser, also picked up a groin strain during the match, ruling the winger out for up to three weeks.
Junior Firpo is still recovering from torn lateral ligaments in his knee and is expected to be out for at least four more weeks.
