Mallik Wilks whose brother Raheem was shot dead last Thursday came on as a substitute for tier two Leeds United in their FA Cup fourth round clash with non league Sutton on Sunday.

Raheem, 19, was shot dead in Leeds in what police termed a 'targeted attack' and they have subsequently arrested a 49-year-old man in connection with the offence.

Mallik, 18, decided to accompany the squad for their FA Cup tie and when manager Garry Monk sent him on during the second-half it marked his first appearance for the senior side.
