Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino reportedly bans Sky Sports crew from entering Elland Road ahead of their coverage of the Championship clash with Derby County.

Massimo Cellino has reportedly banned a Sky Sports crew from entering Elland Road as they prepare to cover Tuesday night's Championship clash between Leeds United and Derby County.

The Italian is said to be angry that a disproportionate number of Leeds fixtures have been moved for television broadcast, claiming that it has affected matchday revenues and attendances.

According to The Mirror, Cellino instructed staff to prevent Sky production crew from entering the stadium to set up for on-site coverage of the clash, with the alleged threat of disciplinary action if they failed to comply.

The newspaper reports that a number of Sky personnel arrived on Monday to prepare as planned but were refused entry.

A spokesman for the Football League said: "The League has been made aware that Sky personnel have been unable to access Elland Road today as previously arranged.

"We have contacted Leeds United to remind the club of its obligations to our broadcast partner and to ask them for their observations. As yet, we have not received a response from anyone in authority at the club, but are hopeful that the matter can be resolved swiftly once the club does engage."

The game is due to get underway at 7.45pm on Tuesday.
