Forshaw last played for Leeds back in the Championship in the club’s 1-0 loss to Charlton Athletic in September 2019. The Englishman has undergone five separate surgical procedures prior to featuring for 60 minutes against York (as per Leeds Live).
It has been reported that Forshaw is still hoping to play a part in the remainder of the campaign for Leeds, but the club is cautious about his fitness.

A lot of these Leeds fans seem very happy about Forshaw’s potential return to fitness and they are making their opinions clear about it.
In the Championship, Forshaw was a regular member of the club’s first team. He played 31 games in the 2018/19 campaign, featuring limited times in the other two campaigns for the side.
The 29-year-old will add more depth to the midfield, especially since Jamie Shackleton and Mateusz Klich are the only two fit central midfield options for Marcelo Bielsa right now. So his potential return might be a boost for the Whites.
