O’Brien treated for depression

Leeds defender Andy O’Brien will receive the club’s full support as he bids to win back his first-team place after receiving treatment for depression.

Manager Simon Grayson declared O’Brien had no future at Elland Road after the centre-half refused to play in Leeds’ 2-1 win at Burnley in November and the 32-year-old has been sidelined since.

But following an internal inquiry the club have urged fans to give the former Republic of Ireland international their full support after his treatment at the Sporting Chance clinic.
