Daniel Farke has confirmed goalkeeper Illan Meslier will not start in goal for Leeds for their trip to Luton on Saturday.

The Leeds boss has been under pressure to drop the Frenchman, who was at fault for Swansea's first equaliser during Saturday's 2-2 draw.

Meslier dropped the ball from Josh Tymon's corner just after the hour mark, with Swansea's Harry Darling on hand to fire home and punish his error.

"I have taken my decision and spoken to the goalkeepers, Karl Darlow will play Saturday," he told the club's official website on Thursday.
