Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear confirmed that the club’s teenage winger Jack Clarke is heading home from hospital to rest after suffering an illness during Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Middlesbrough.
“Jack has had messages from football fans from every club you can imagine and we all really appreciate it,” Kinnear told the club’s official website.
Clarke looks set to miss Leeds’ Championship clash with Swansea City on Wednesday at Elland Road, where they will seek a first win in three matches to boost their hopes of promotion.
