Leeds United correspondent Phil Hay has dropped an injury update regarding Adam Forshaw.

The Lowdown: Forshaw sits out Watford win

Forshaw missed just his second Premier League game since the end of October on Saturday afternoon, watching on as the Whites picked up three crucial points against Watford.

The central midfielder did travel with the squad and was in deep conversation with Jesse Marsch as Leeds looked at the Vicarage Road pitch prior to kick-off.

However, the 30-year-old wasn’t included in the match-day squad for the 3-0 win and Hay has now shared why Forshaw was missing.

The Latest: Hay’s post

Hay took to Twitter on Sunday morning to explain Forshaw’s absence.

He admitted that the midfielder’s ‘injury was a calf strain’, however, Marsch is hopeful that Forshaw can return to training next week.

The Verdict: Never ending

Forshaw has now joined Patrick Bamford, Tyler Roberts, Junior Firpo and Jamie Shackleton on the sidelines, with Leeds’ injury woes showing no signs of slowing up in the final weeks of the season.

Hopefully, he’ll be able to make a swift return to training at Thorp Arch, and with Leeds not playing until April 25, that should work in his favour over a possible return to the squad for the trip to Crystal Palace.

Fingers crossed that is the case, as Marsch seems to have a new injury worry to deal with every week since replacing Marcelo Bielsa.
