Adam Forshaw’s injury at Leeds has been a puzzling situation, so much so that Phil Hay described it as strange following the club’s draw with Cardiff.
The midfielder suffered a hip injury in August and returned to play 45 minutes against Charlton in late September.
However, he hasn’t been since and it appears as though he’s really struggling with a constant niggle.
Marcelo Bielsa has previously claimed the situation is complicated but there has at least been some positive news on his recovery.
It’s been stated that he isn’t far away from a return but his battle with the sidelines has seen him take on a huge amount of flack.
Fans have called for him to be sold while some supporters have wondered whether he’ll ever play again.
Although some of those remarks may be tongue in cheek, it appears as though the constant barrage of comments has finally got to Forshaw.
The 28-year-old took to Instagram on Tuesday night to post an image of the squad out on a Christmas meal.
A true test for any Leeds fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?
However, one supporter called him out on his injury-hit spell, to which Forshaw issued a sarcastic one-word response.
The former Middlesbrough man was a vital part of Leeds’ early season form, playing six times and registering the best pass success rate of anyone to start for the Whites in 2019/20.
Whether or not he’ll be able to continue where he left off when he returns remains to be seen. Either way, it’ll be important for certain segments of the fan base to get off his back.
