Here are your Leeds United evening headlines on Saturday, October 15.
Key update given on limited Robin Koch contract talks
Leeds United have not entered contract negotiations with centre-back Robin Koch despite the German having less than two years left on his current deal.
The 26-year-old has been incredible for the Whites this season, and is just one of four players to have played every minute in the Premier League throughout the campaign.
Since signing for Leeds in 2020 following their promotion back to the top-flight of English football, he's made 37 league appearances for Leeds and with the form he's in, that number will keep rising under Jesse Marsch.

Writing for the Athletic, journalist Phil Hay revealed that there's been no talk between the club and the player, even after his impressive performances this season.
"And though Leeds have not begun discussing a contract that expires in less than two years, that conversation will come onto the agenda when the time is right. At 26, he should be moving into his peak years."
If Leeds are unable to lock down Koch in the near future, teams will be looking to snap him up for a much cheaper price than he'd be worth with his contract dwindling down.
Mikel Arteta warns his Arsenal players to be ready for 'incredible' Elland Road atmosphere
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has labelled the atmosphere at Elland Road as 'incredible' ahead of taking his side up to Yorkshire to take on Leeds United on Sunday afternoon.
The Premier League leaders have started the season in stellar fashion, taking 24 points from a possible 27 whilst also winning all three of their Europa League group stage matches thus far.
Against a Leeds side who are winless in their last five top flight outings whilst picking up two points from a possible 15, the Gunners are firm favourites. However, Arteta has sent a message to his players to beware of the atmosphere that he expects on Sunday after the din created by the Leeds faithful the last time the north Londoners came to Elland Road, when they ran out 4-1 victors.
Leeds United handed potential Arsenal boost as Mikel Arteta gives Gabriel Jesus injury update
Leeds United could be handed a major boost going into their Premier League match against league leaders Arsenal on Sunday with the Gunners potentially headed to Elland Road without star striker Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazilian was absent from the North London outfit's squad that beat Norwegian side Bødo/Glimt 1-0 in the Europa League on Thursday evening having felt discomfort after their 3-2 victory over Liverpool last Sunday.
The 25-year-old joined from Manchester City in the summer and has scored five goals and recorded five assists in 11 appearances across all competitions with the North London outfit top of the Premier League, taking 24 points from a possible 27 whilst also winning all three of their Europa League matches so far.
