Leeds United youngster Oliver Sarkic is hoping to make a swift comeback from injury.
Young Leeds United striker Oliver Sarkic has given a strong hint he is close to a return from injury.
Sarkic has been out of action since early February when he landed awkwardly in an under-23 game and left Thorp Arch on crutches.
He is now closing in on a comeback, as he posted a picture on Twitter wearing his football boots with a short caption indicating a return is imminent.
Leeds’ next under-23 game is on Monday against Bristol City and Sarkic will be eyeing that as a potential comeback game.
He signed for Leeds in January from Benfica after impressing on loan during the first half of the season.
Sarkic won the role of Leeds’ most prominent under-23 striker during this time, but his injury has allowed the equally impressive Sam Dalby to stake a claim.
Getting Sarkic back now is welcome, especially as there is still scope for him to make his first team debut.
Leeds have little to lose at this point from experimenting, and if he can hit the ground running in his under-23 comeback, the Whites should consider giving him a shot in the following two games of the season for the first team against Norwich and then QPR.
