# Leeds: Adam Forshaw ruled out of Aston Villa clash

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) midfielder Adam Forshaw will miss the Whites’ [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clash against Aston Villa this weekend, journalist Phil Hay has confirmed.**

### The Lowdown: Leeds host Aston Villa

Jesse Marsch’s side are back in league action after the international break, welcoming Steven Gerrard’s Villa to Elland Road for a Sunday afternoon showdown.

Leeds sit [11th](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) in the table after six matches, winning, drawing and losing twice apiece so far, and this should be viewed as a very winnable fixture against a team who aren’t at their best, sitting [four places](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/premier-league/table) behind the Yorkshire club.

Injuries continue to hamper the Whites, though, with Archie Gray and Stuart Dallas among those [currently sidelined](https://www.premierinjuries.com/injury-table.php).

### The Latest: Forshaw ruled out

Forshaw is another Leeds man who will miss Sunday’s clash, and taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1575825592305717248?s=20&t=ZuSUEIvqHgV2IylWsOofwg), Hay relayed an update from Marsch as to why the midfielder would be absent this weekend.

The reporter tweeted:

> “Marsch starting on injuries: Forshaw has a twisted ankle and will miss the weekend. Archie Gray has a fractured toe, out for another couple of weeks. Dallas still working his way back. Everyone else is available.”

### The Verdict: Constant injury setbacks

Forshaw’s career has been hampered severely by [injuries](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-forshaw/verletzungen/spieler/121257) in recent times, with the 31-year-old missing almost two years of action with a serious hip problem between 2019 and 2021.

Other issues have also affected him badly, including a fractured kneecap towards the end of last season, and this current update is just the latest in a series of setbacks for the 30-year-old.

The hope is that Forshaw – who has been restricted to [three substitute appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/19/Show/England-Leeds) in the current league campaign – will be back soon, considering that this particular injury doesn’t sound serious, but it is hard to rely on him staying fit for a prolonged period given his unfortunate history in that regard.
