The Football League has granted Leeds United president Massimo Cellino permission to attend Saturday's match against Rotherham.

Cellino is currently serving a Football League ban for breaching its 'owners and directors rules' and his sanction is not due to end until the day after the Rotherham game.

The 58-year-old was disqualified by the governing body after it obtained documents from an Italian court relating to charges of tax evasion.

But Cellino, Leeds' majority shareholder, asked for special dispensation to attend the final Championship fixture of the campaign at Elland Road.
