Leadbitter Out


The Blues will have to try and stop a sixth straight loss with skipper Grant Leadbitter at Turf Moor.

Contract rebel Leadbitter picked up a groin injury in the latter stages of Town’s 3-2 home loss to reading and was replaced by on-loan Manchester City striker Reece Wabara.

Reading scored twice when Leadbitter went off to come back and win the game.

The former Sunderland midfielder will be assessed on Monday but Jewell is already planning to be without him at Burnley.
