da dobrowin： Leeds United are doing quite well at the moment aren’t they?
The Whites are unbeaten in their last seven and they’ve taken 12 points from the last 18 available to them as they sit third in the Championship.
The old adage goes ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’, but Marcelo Bielsa may be tempted to tinker with his team once one injured star returns to action.

Forshaw’s return
Phil Hay confirmed in a Q&A session with The Athletic that Adam Forshaw is edging closer to a return to the side.
Bielsa quite clearly rates Forshaw very highly as he’s recently claimed that he combines the best of Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich, so his return leaves the Argentine with a big decision to make in the middle of the park.
Bielsa’s headache
This is going to be one of the biggest selection headaches that the 64-year-old has had to deal with since taking over at Elland Road.
At the moment Klich and Tyler Roberts are Bielsa’s midfield pairing, but it seems that only one of those two are likely to be dropped anytime soon.
The Poland international has started every single league game Bielsa has managed at Leeds, so it’s fair to say that his position in the team is pretty safe.
Instead, Forshaw would likely come in to replace Roberts, but dropping him would be an incredibly harsh decision.
The Welsh attacking midfielder has drawn a lot of praise from the fanbase for his performances in recent weeks, and he’s also been producing the goods having netted against QPR.
Forshaw is clearly highly-rated by the manager, but he’s got to consider his options wisely when contemplating how and when he will put him back into the team.
