Forshaw spent nearly two years out of action for Leeds before he returned to action this summer, playing in the EFL Cup against Crewe Alexandra.

 

The midfielder again played in the competition when he clocked 65 minutes against Fulham, but he is now injured again and looking at an absence due to a torn muscle.

 

 

He was not involved in Leeds’ matchday squad for the side’s 2-1 home loss against West Ham United on Saturday and news of his injury emerged after the game.

 

Forshaw being injured did not go down well with some fans, who took aim at him on Twitter, with Shoaib Gora believing the midfielder should be ashamed of himself for picking up a salary.

 

 

Chris Lee was clear in his view that Leeds should terminate Forshaw’s contract and release him, while Luke feels the Whites needed to sign another midfielder in the summer and not rely on the former Everton man.

 

Mark Byrne simply wants Forshaw gone, while Lee Reed thinks it is lucky he is paid while injured. It remains to be seen how long Forshaw’s latest absence lasts.
