Here are the latest Leeds United morning headlines on Monday 11th January.
Karen Carney on Leeds' biggest miss
The fallout from Leeds United's 3-0 FA Cup third round defeat at Crawley Town continues this morning.
A poor second-half performance from Marcelo Bielsa's men saw their League Two hosts net three times in 20 minutes after the break as Leeds were on the end of another FA Cup upset.
Speaking on Match of the Day, former England international Karen Carney believes that the absence of Patrick Bamford, who was rested for the match, was a key factor in the defeat.
"This is where you miss Bamford, that focal point," Carney said. "Someone being in the centre, the width of the goal and getting the tap-ins. There was a lack of clinical edge but today is all about Crawley, a brilliant team performance and they deserved it today."
Carney was also full of praise for how fourth tier Crawley took the initiative against their Premier League opposition.
"They were terrific today. They are on a really good run, 10 unbeaten and John Yems has said all week that his team were going to be on the front foot, take the game to Leeds and they did that and more today."
Tomori transfer decision
Chelsea head coach Frank Lampard has admitted that in-demand defender Fikayo Tomori could leave the club on loan this season.
A number of clubs, including Leeds United and Newcastle United have been linked with with the centre-back who has found his playing time limited at Stamford Bridge this term.
Tomori was given a rare outing as Chelsea eased past Morecambe in the third round of the FA Cup on Sunday, when he came on for the last 10 minutes of the 4-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, replacing Kurt Zouma.
“The situation with Fikayo is open at the moment,” said Lampard after the Morecambe game.
“There is a possibility he could be going on loan to get games somewhere else. So that would have to be the solution for him and the club. That was part of my thinking of not starting him today."

Yems' half-time message for Crawley
Crawley Town manager John Yems inspired his side's second-half performance against Leeds by urging them to show more belief in his half-time team talk.
Three goals after the break sealed a famous win for the Red Devils as they knocked out a Leeds side that sit 62 places above them in the league system.
"At half-time I just said keep doing what we're doing, and have a bit more belief in ourselves," Yems told the BBC. "We've seen all season that we've got goals in us. We had a game plan and we stuck to it and the lads really worked their socks off and got their rewards.
"All of us, all the backroom staff, worked on it, but it is all about the players. They've bought into it and we've put our ideas down and they've executed those, and if you keep on doing that you get results."
