Illan Meslier has been dropped for Leeds’ trip to Luton on Saturday after his high-profile errors against Swansea.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke, who has been under pressure to drop the Frenchman, confirmed the news on Thursday.Meslier dropped the ball from Josh Tymon’s corner just after the hour mark, with Swansea’s Harry Darling on hand to fire home and punish his error.Zan Vipotnik’s shot in the 96th minute then slipped under the goalkeeper’s glove as the Welsh side came away with a draw that denied Leeds the chance to move level on points with Sheffield United at the top of the division.

“I have taken my decision and spoken to the goalkeepers, Karl Darlow will play Saturday,” he told the club’s official website on Thursday.
