Leeds United have been handed a boost over the fitness of midfielder Adam Forshaw…
What's the story?
Speaking after the win against Watford, Leeds boss Jesse Marsch said via Leeds Live that he thinks the player might be in training this week following a little calf issue and could play against Crystal Palace.
Now, former Whites ace Noel Whelan has delivered an update on the midfielder following his own sighting of him at Thorp Arch.
Speaking to Football Insider he revealed that he saw the player at coaching last night and appeared to have a big smile on his face.
He hailed the player’s in form status and stated that Forshaw had been doing a really good job in the centre of the pitch.
Meanwhile former manager Marcelo Bielsa himself has previously admitted just how influential he can be.
He said via Yorkshire Evening Post that Forshaw is a player who has always been one of the better players on the team and defenders in a similar way to Kalvin Phillips but is also quite similar to Mateusz Klich as well.
Given the kind of injury troubles he has sadly had over the last few seasons seeing him back on the pitch has been one of the real highlight stories of a difficult campaign for Bielsa.
It’s exactly why news that he looks fit and healthy should be greeted with a huge sigh of relief.
