Leeds United have sent Switzerland international defender Jonathan Rossini back to his club Sassuolo.

The 25-year-old joined Leeds at the pre-season training camp in Italy last week, after they agreed a season-long loan deal.

However, Leeds have pulled out of the deal after he spent just a few days training with the club.

Club owner Massimo Cellino says Rossini's "attitude" was not right for Leeds.

"We want special players at Leeds United. Rossini didn't show enough during the three days he trained with the rest of the team," he said,

"After speaking to him, it is clear that he didn't have the right attitude to join Leeds, so we have allowed him to leave."
