The Leeds United midfielder hopes to be available for Millwall next week.
Adam Forshaw has revealed to LUTV that he should be fit for Leeds United’s next game.
Forshaw hasn’t kicked a ball for Leeds in nearly two months due to a knee injury.
He told LUTV: “It’s been frustrating. It probably went longer than I’d hoped. But I’m improving and hopefully I can be available for the next game.”
Forshaw’s return will be a big boost for the Whites.
He isn’t Marcelo Bielsa’s biggest player in terms of importance, but Leeds slipped out of the automatic promotion places with a defeat by Sheffield United prior to the international break.
With eight games to go, United need numbers in the squad and Forshaw – a £4.5 million signing in January of 2018 [The Daily Mail] – will be a welcome asset.
It’ll be interesting to see where Bielsa plays him.
Prior to his injury, the former Middlesbrough midfielder was playing ahead of Kalvin Phillips in the holding role, with Phillips dazzling there in Forshaw’s absence.
Leeds host Millwall on Saturday week.
