Beren Cross details new Leeds injury blow for Jack Harrison
Leeds United have been hit with another injury blow to their squad with Jack Harrison carrying a knock.
Beren Cross shared the news last night after the winger was surprisingly ignored on the bench in the 1-0 win over Watford.
Marcelo Bielsa confirmed that it was a problem with Harrison’s obliques, but he could have played if desperately needed.
Writing in his latest Leeds Live Q&A, Cross detailed the latest injury blow at Elland Road after another noticeable omission.
“Bielsa said Harrison was struggling with an injury to his obliques but could have played if they really needed him,” he said.
“We were all a little surprised when we saw Harrison didn’t start, but the injury issue explains it.”
Sigh.
How many more injuries are going to be picked up by this squad?
It is starting to become a real issue, and we never thought we would say that we are relieved that the international break has arrived – it gives us the perfect time to rebuild fitness in the squad.
Harrison being included in the matchday side against Watford proves it isn’t a serious blow, and he should be back to 100% for the Southampton clash.
The winger will be desperately needed too, given that it is looking likely that Raphinha will be missing after travelling to Brazil this week.
Harrison has been replaced by Dan James in recent weeks, and this will be his chance to finally prove that he should be back starting every single week.
Fingers crossed he recovers to 100% to take that chance with both hands.
