Leeds United have the Italian football authorities to thank for Jaka Bijol's suspension for the Premier League opener against Everton.
-
The YEP reported on Thursday that Leeds had been informed their new centre-back would be forced to sit out the first game of the topflight campaign at Elland Road due to a one-match ban that followed him from Italy.
Bijol, a summer transfer signing from Serie A side Udinese, was sent off for picking up two yellow cards in his final game of last season.
