Adam Forshaw missed Leeds United’s first win under Paul Heckingbottom last week.
Paul Heckingbottom has told West Yorkshire Sport that Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw is available for selection in tomorrow’s trip to Middlesbrough.
The January signing sat out the 1-0 win over Brentford last week after his partner gave birth to a boy.
But the Leeds boss says that the 26-year-old has been training all week and will be available when United visit Tony Pulis’s side tomorrow night.
Asked if there was good news on Forshaw, Heckingbottom said: “Yeah he’s been in. He was in training Monday with the rest of the players so yeah he’s fit and available.”
Forshaw, who joined Leeds from Boro, cost £4.5 million and has offered a glimpse into his talent so far.
It’ll be interesting to see who Heckingbottom axes in favour of the Liverpudlian in midfield.
Eunan O’Kane and Kalvin Phillips started the victory over the Bees – Heckingbottom’s first win in charge of the West Yorkshire side – and fans will be desperate to see O’Kane drop out of the first XI.
The Northern Irish midfielder hasn’t been great since the turn of the year, though Heckingbottom seems to rate him, having started O’Kane in three of his four Championship games in charge.
