The 20-year-old Anglo-Ghanaian was hoping to make his first Championship start for the Whites this weekend
Eddie Nketiah will not be part of the Leeds United squad which hosts Queen Park Rangers at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon, after picking up an abdominal injury.
It had been earlier reported that the Arsenal loanee was primed to make his first start in the English second-tier after a string of fine performances off the bench, which put immense pressure on coach Marcelo Bielsa to include him in the starting XI.

“Eddie Nketiah misses today’s fixture with QPR after picking up an abdominal injury in training on Friday,” the tweet read.
