Leeds United are enjoying a fine start to life under Marcelo Bielsa, and the Argentinian looks set to receive a major boost in the coming weeks.

The Whites dropped points under Bielsa for the first time on Tuesday night with a 2-2 draw at Swansea City, but did come from behind twice to take a point home from South Wales.

Bielsa remains unbeaten as Leeds boss in competitive games, and as if his side wasn’t doing well enough, he is set to be given a major boost with the returns of two players.

Midfielder Adam Forshaw and winger Stuart Dallas have been out injured recently, with Forshaw yet to appear this season and Dallas managing just 14 minutes of league action.

Fans have been wondering when the duo will return, and an LUTV video posted on Wednesday may just suggest that the pair will be back in action very soon.

Leeds United’s official Twitter account posted out a video of midfielder Forshaw offering an update on his recovery, with the January signing from Middlesbrough admitting that he is progressing well from a foot injury.

Forshaw was also seen running in training with Dallas, as the duo ramp up their comebacks together, giving Bielsa a major boost to his options.

Forshaw will be eyeing a key role in Bielsa’s midfield, especially with Kalvin Phillips struggling against Swansea in midweek, whilst Dallas will ease concerns about Leeds’ depth out wide, offering competition to Pablo Hernandez, Ezgjan Alioski and Jack Harrison.
