Break-ing Bad Timing For Adam

Adam Forshaw admits the international break has come at the worst possible time as the Leeds star looks to re-establish himself after more than two years of injury hell.

At the start of United’s promotion-winning 2019-20 campaign, the former Middlesbrough midfielder was struck down by a serious hip injury that required numerous surgeries.

He missed all of Leeds’ Premier League return last term and there were doubts about whether the popular Liverpudlian would play again.

But even during his darkest days Forshaw, 30, never stopped believing he could make a comeback.

During last Sunday’s 1-1 home draw with Leicester, the Everton academy product made his first league start since September 2019 and proved that he still has all the qualities required to play for Marcelo Bielsa.
