Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has suggested to Leeds Live that he did not play a major role in the development of Adam Forshaw.

Forshaw has been an important player under Bielsa at Leeds and has been playing well for the Whites this season.

According to WhoScored, the 27-year-old midfielder has made three appearances in the Championship for the West Yorkshire outfit this campaign, providing one assist in the process.

During the 2018-19 campaign, the Englishman made 20 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds, according to WhoScored.

Leeds head coach Bielsa has spoken highly of Forshaw, and he has suggested that he did not play a major role in the midfielder’s development in recent times.

Bielsa told Leeds Live when asked about Forshaw’s development: “Only I didn’t have an influence on Forshaw because when I started with him it was last summer.

“He was the best player in the team before his injury. In this period, the contact was minimum. Everything Forshaw does in the games are inside of him.”

Back in action

Leeds have made a strong start to the season and have picked up seven points from three Championship matches.

The Whites are back in action on Wednesday evening when they take on Brentford at Elland Road in the league.

Bielsa’s side will head into the match as favourites, but the Bees are an ambitious club and have a good team.
