Venables facing defensive crisis

Leeds boss Terry Venables is without centre-backs Jonathan Woodgate and Lucas Radebe for the second leg of tomorrow night’s UEFA Cup first-round clash against Ukrainian side Metalurg Zaporizhya.

Woodgate has a hamstring injury and Radebe a knee problem and, given the lack of cover in defence, it has led to Venables drafting untried 18-year-old Matthew Kilgallon into the squad.
