A lot of Leeds United fans have responded to a tweet from Graham Smyth that includes a piece on Jean-Kevin Augustin.
The Yorkshire Evening Post reporter claims that the Frenchman is fit enough to join in full training now and that his hamstring has healed enough for him to play football again – whenever this indefinite suspension of the league is lifted.
Smyth believes that if the league does resume soon then Augustin would have a fighting chance of making Marcelo Bielsa’s squad because he is likely to be at the same stage as Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts.
Do you think Augustin can make an impact when football returns?
Yes
No
This post from Smyth has gone down well with these Leeds fans who are excited to see what Augustin can do when football returns.
If Jean-Kevin Augustin looks like he's worked his backside off, it's because he has.
Frenchman could rejoin full training, if such a thing existed today. He's feeling better than when he arrived at Leeds United.https://t.co/ItnoMlm6x2#lufc

It’s encouraging with regards to his desire to want to make it at Leeds isn’t it

His transformation is amazing. As you and Joe have said in the past, he wasn’t fat by any means but still it’s amazing to see

Can’t wait to see what a fully fit, hungry for success Big Kev can add to our squad. With a fully fit Bamford/Roberts/Augustin available, we’ll have the best attacking options in the Championship.

What do we think?
The 22-year-old was shown on Leeds’ official Twitter page going through an intense fitness regime, and if Smyth’s piece is to be believed, it looks like it has worked.
The man on loan from RB Leipzig had only featured for 48 minutes since joining in January, but it now seems he is back to full fitness and ready to contribute to the rest of the season.
