Jack Clarke has reportedly returned to full training for Leeds United.

Danny Mills has told an LS11 podcast on YouTube that it’s great to see the ‘fabulous’ Jack Clarke return to Leeds United training.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reported earlier this week that the 18-year-old winger has resumed full training.

Clarke suffered a health scare last month after being taken to hospital midway through Leeds’ 1-1 draw at Middlesbrough after collapsing in the dugout during the second half.

The Thorp Arch gem, who has since been given the all-clear, hasn’t kicked a ball for United since that day at the Riverside on February 9.

It’s Clarke’s debut season as a senior Whites player, and Mills admits that he’s been very impressed by the teenager.

He told an LS11 podcast on YouTube: “He’s a fabulous talent and it’s great to see him back fit now.

“I think he’s done really well. Young lads come in and play with a naivety which is brilliant.”

This is a big boost for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.

Having not played in a month, Clarke might not be available for selection for Leeds’ trip to Bristol City on Saturday.

But having him fit for the run-in in is potentially huge for the Elland Road club. Bielsa could’ve used his talents in the defeat at QPR last week, and having an option of his quality during the final two months could be massive.
