Leeds United’s Adam Forshaw has been ruled out of yet another game by Marcelo Bielsa in Leeds Live.

Bielsa had said last week that Forshaw was ‘completing his recovery process’, but it seems that the chances of him playing again this season are becoming slimmer by the week.

The Leeds midfielder has missed almost all of the campaign so far with injury, and his comeback game won’t be coming against Fulham tomorrow.

“[Adam] Forshaw is not going to be involved,” Bielsa confirmed.

In better injury news for Leeds, Bielsa did suggest that Tyler Roberts does have a chance of starting.

Bielsa said Roberts had been training ‘well and without problems’, when asked about the attacker’s fitness going into a huge game tomorrow.

If Leeds are able to beat Fulham they will take a huge step closer to promotion.

However, a defeat would set nerves jangling around Elland Road, and see their advantage in the automatic promotion spots trimmed to just four points.
