United a facing a midfield crisis ahead of Saturday's game against Leicester City after Shaun Derry became the latest player to be ruled out.
The 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of Leeds' 1-0 win over Millwall at the New Den on Saturday and a scan yesterday morning revealed a tear.
It now means the former Crystal Palace man is likely to be out of action for anything between three and six weeks.
The news comes as a further blow to Kevin Blackwell's men, who have already lost Sean Gregan and on-loan Blackburn midfielder Jonathan Douglas to suspension this weekend after they picked up their fifth bookings of the season in the Millwall game.
It leaves Blackwell short in midfield with Icelandic internationa Gylfi Einarsson still nursing a dislocated shoulder and Steve Stone also some time away from making his return after his pre-season Achilles injury.
Blackwell will look towards youngsters Danny Pugh and Simon Walton as re-inforcements, and Frazer Richardson could get a return to the starting XI as a result.
"Unfortunately we have lost Derry, Douglas and Sean Gregan but we will get over it somehow," said Blackwell.
