Leeds United news: Liam Cooper has played 100 games for the club
The 26-year-old central defender hit the landmark in Saturday’s home defeat to Championship strugglers Reading.

“Sometimes you just get so caught up these things pass you by.
“Humbled to have played my 100th game for the mighty @LUFC.
“We are still on track to achieve what this club deserves! Come onnn!”

Cooper joined Leeds from Chesterfield in the summer transfer window of 2014 for a fee in the region of £500,000.
The Hull City academy graduate was a regular in his first two seasons at Elland Road but found himself out of favour under Garry Monk last term.
He has re-established himself in defence under new boss Thomas Christiansen.
Cooper has been called-up to the senior Scotland squad on two occasions but is yet to make his international debut.
Pontus Jansson says he's been s*** in recent games
Meanwhile, Cooper's defensive partner Pontus Jansson has admitted he has been s*** in recent games.
The Swede said: “Last few weeks has been tough, things hasn’t gone in that way we all wanted and I personally have been shit.
“But we all want the same thing now, going back and win games and the only way to go is hard work, 100%!
“Stay together everyone and we will for sure come back!”
