Leeds head for Barcelona in the Champions League this week and while they will be without a number of key men, no-one can question their fighting spirit.

The only problem is the players are fighting amongst themselves. Michael Bridges and Gary Kelly squared up at the end of the game at Highfield Road following the 0-0 draw against Coventry. Angry words were exchanged as they jostled each other and other players tried to intervene before they were led away by the coaching staff.

Without Harry Kewell, side-lined until Christmas with an Achilles injury and Olympic hopeful Mark Viduka, Leeds lacked a cutting edge against Coventry.

Jonathan Woodgate and Erik Baake will also be absent for the clash at the Nou Camp on Wednesday.
