The injured Leeds United midfielder will be back in mid-September, claims Marcelo Bielsa.
Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa confirmed on Wednesday that Adam Forshaw would be available for selection once again after the international break.
The 26-year-old has missed every Leeds game so far this season after rupturing ankle ligaments in preparation for the Whites’ opening-day victory over Stoke City.
Forshaw, a £4.5 million addition in January [Yorkshire Evening Post], was originally ruled out for six weeks, but the former Middlesbrough man told LUTV last week that he was ahead of schedule.
United host Forshaw’s former club at Elland Road in a top-of-the-table Championship clash on Friday night, and although Bielsa says that one comes too soon for the Liverpudlian midfielder, the Argentine coach did confirm that he’d be available in the second week of September.
Here is how some fans reacted to the development:
Leeds’ first game after the international break is away to Millwall, which won’t be the easiest of afternoons.
The Londoners can be quite a physical team at the best of times, and it might not be an ideal game for Forshaw to make his comeback in.
