Leeds have confirmed a decision over the validity of a 15-point penalty imposed on the club by the Football League will be made before the end of the season.

Leeds have no more than a 30% chance of getting their 15-point penalty overturned by an independent tribunal, according to sports law specialist Richard Cramer.

The independent tribunal to consider Leeds’ 15-point penalty imposed by the Football League at the start of the season will begin next Wednesday.

Leeds midfielder Seth Johnson today admitted driving at 135mph on a motorway while over the drink-drive limit.
