A lot of Leeds United fans have reacted to news from Marcelo Bielsa about Adam Forshaw.
The midfielder has missed 12 games with a hip injury, and Bielsa confirmed that there is no date for his return.
Do Leeds miss Forshaw?
Yes
No
This has concerned many Whites fans who seem to believe that they will never see Forshaw again.
Forshaw still isn't available and hasn't completed his recovery. "He's working hard every day with a lot of professionalism. The same with the medical staff. We don't have one date when he's going to come back with us." #lufc

Is he being used for spare parts?

He’s gone forever hasn’t he?

Never to be seen again…

Other Leeds supporters, though, are angry that Forshaw is still injured.
How can there be no date at all ? What the hell is wrong with him ?

Has turned out to be injury prone and extremely fragile

Waste of time that bloke, no doubt he was great at the beginning of the season but in the grand scheme of it all he’s stole a wage at this club my 80 year old nan has a better chance of passing a fitness test than he does

What do we think?
Forshaw is a very underrated player who has been happy to do the dirty work and allow others to shine during his time at Leeds United.
Last season he was an important player for Bielsa and though, he is not guaranteed a start, he is a player that the Argentine will want back sooner rather than later.
This hip injury was expected to keep him out for a very short period of time, but it has turned into a nightmare for the 28-year-old, and he must be frustrated that he cannot help the team.
The worrying thing is that the medical team do not have a timescale for his return – so it seems like the former Middlesbrough player could miss the majority of a potential promotion campaign.
