# Leeds: Whites suffer Adam Forshaw injury blow

**Adam Forshaw also picked up an injury in [Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/)‘s pre-season friendly draw with Crystal Palace, adding to a fitness setback for Luis Sinisterra.\**

### The Lowdown: Sinisterra blow

The Whites drew 1-1 with Palace on Friday afternoon, but the number one thing Jesse Marsch would have wanted is that his squad come through the game unscathed – he was dealt bad news on that front pretty quickly.

New signing Sinisterra limped out during the first half after going down with [nobody around him](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/?p=403714), immediately leading to concern ahead of the new [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season.

That wasn’t the only issue, however, on a frustrating day at the office for Marsch and his side.

### The Latest: Forshaw injured

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/sistoney67/status/1550430519850323968?s=20&t=QLhxudVAiWkSWiEF6Lh4aw), Simon Stone confirmed that Forshaw also had to go off with a problem of his own, adding to Leeds’ woes: “Now Forshaw gone off, also heading straight down the tunnel. Another injury.”

Marsch later confirmed ([via Stone](https://twitter.com/sistoney67/status/1550459598943174656)) a ‘knee tweak’ for the experienced midfielder, with no initial diagnosis on his return.

### The Verdict: Another cruel blow for midfielder

Forshaw has suffered a horribly [injury-plagued](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-forshaw/verletzungen/spieler/121257) career in recent years, missing almost two years of action with a hip issue and also suffering fresh problems last season.

This is, therefore, a cruel setback for a player who needs some good luck for once, not to mention the fact that he remains a key man, once being [hailed](https://sportslens.com/news/noel-whelan-raves-about-leeds-united-midfielder-adam-forshaw/) as ‘excellent’ by Noel Whelan.

To have Forshaw missing for the opening league game of the season at home to Wolves next month would be a big blow, especially with Kalvin Phillips departing for Manchester City, so the hope is that this is nothing too serious.
