Leeds defender George McCartney, on loan from Sunderland, has been attacked by chairman Ken Bates for saying players were ‘out on their feet after playing so much this season’.

Bates said: ‘He has only played twice in the last six games. He has been fined more than once for turning up late in training. If he turned up on time and had a bit more commitment, then he wouldn’t feel quite so tired.’
