Leeds face an anxious wait to find out what punishment the Football Association will dish out to Casper Ankergren.

The Danish goalkeeper pleaded guilty to throwing an object into the crowd at Swindon in March and asked for a personal hearing, which should take place this week.

Ankergren faces at least a heavy fine but might be given a suspension. While United only need two points to be sure of a play-off place with two games to go, if Ankergren were to pick up more than a two-match ban it could badly affect their hopes of success.

His understudy, David Lucas, has looked far from convincing when called on this season. In all he has played six times for Leeds - once as a substitute - and finished on the losing side on four occasions.
