Pundit thrilled with Adam Forshaw injury news as expert shares update on Leeds United ace
We’re delighted to welcome former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson as our exclusive columnist as each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at Leeds United...
Paul Robinson is delighted by the news that Adam Forshaw should be fit to play for Leeds United when they take on Crystal Palace on Monday.
Forshaw, 30, missed the win over Watford last time out due to a calf strain [Phil Hay] but is expected to be involved at Selhurst Park when Leeds next play.
According to injury expert Ben Dinnery on his Premier Injuries website, Forshaw has a 75 per cent chance of being able to play at Palace.
If the midfielder is available, Robinson is happy that both he and Kalvin Phillips should be fit for Leeds’ remaining Premier League matches.
“It’ll be a big boost to have him back in between now and the end of the season,” Robinson told MOT Leeds News.
“[Mateusz] Klich and [Robin] Koch started as the two holding midfielders [against Watford], I was surprised Kalvin didn’t start the game but obviously, they didn’t think he was ready.
“But having Kalvin and Forshaw back in the team for the run-in gives them a much better opportunity of survival.”
Forshaw has been one of the stand-out players for Leeds United this season.
The former Middlesbrough midfielder has played 26 times in all competitions and is easily a contender to win Leeds’ player of the season award.
After almost two years of being sat on the sidelines, he’s done ever so well and it’s good to see him quickly recover from this minor setback.
In other Leeds United news, this young prospect is quitting Leeds and turned out for his potential new club on Tuesday night.
