Leeds United manager Dennis Wise revealed a mystery player 'will never play for this club again' after his starting line-up had been leaked to Crystal Palace ahead of the kick-off at Elland Road.

Wise's relegation strugglers kept a toe-hold in the Coca-Cola Championship with a 2-1 win, but a much-improved Leeds display was overshadowed by the manager's furious post-match outburst.

'It was a fantastic result for us, but unfortunately I'm very disappointed,' Wise said.

'One player gave my team to the opposition at my football club and I found that out. It disappoints me immensely and I told the players before, and he won't be playing for this football club again.

'It's as simple as that because I can't have that.

'This what you sometimes have to deal with. That player's not going to play for this football club.

'I spoke to the players and it hurts a lot and they responded for me and I'm chuffed to bits with them.

'Also, the player in question said a couple of other things and it's not acceptable.

'I found this out today, about 1pm. I don't want to go into it anymore, but it's only right to say something about something as disappointing as that.'
