Beckford may face 'elbow' probe

Jermaine Beckford celebrates scoring a goal for Leeds
Beckford has scored nine goals in his last nine games

Leeds United's Jermaine Beckford is waiting to find out if referee Alan Wiley will report him for an incident in Monday's 2-0 win over Millwall.

The striker appeared to elbow goalkeeper David Forde and was shown a yellow card for the foul.

"The referee has seen it and yellow-carded him, so I'm not sure if that can change now," manager Simon Grayson told BBC Radio Leeds.

"I didn't see the incident, but will be disappointed if he has done something."

Beckford scored both goals in the 2-0 win at Elland Road to take his tally to 23 for the season.

Grayson added: "There was a melee and people have told me Jermaine has elbowed him.

"The referee, having seen it, had to make a decision and he chose the yellow card.

"Decisions like that can sometimes change games and it did because he scored the second for us."
