Vital Leeds 5/10/14
Leeds United first team coach Darko Milanic decided to rest young midfielder Lewis Cook for the home game with Sheffield Wednesday.
The 17-year-old was left out of the 18-man squad after featured in ten of Leeds first twelve games of the season and Milanic felt it was time for him to take a rest.
Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, Milanic said, "Cook is 17-year-old. He has played many games and I think it was best for him to miss a game.
"Austin came in and he did a good job."
Leeds managed a 1-1 draw with Sheffield Wednesday in his absence with Giuseppe Bellusci scoring a late leveller for Leeds after Chris Maguire had fired the visitors into an early second half lead.
