Forshaw out

Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed that Adam Forshaw will not feature in tomorrow’s game with Swansea City. As reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, he told his pre-match press conference that the midfielder has not recovered from a knee injury in time.

He also gave an update on Jack Clarke. The teenager will continue to be monitored after falling ill whilst on the bench at Middlesbrough on Saturday.

Marcelo misses Casilla

Real Madrid left-back Marcelo was ‘sad’ to see Kiko Casilla join Leeds United. Speaking to Esporte Interativo, he stated that he was ‘very close’ to the goalkeeper and was gutted when the stopper headed to West Yorkshire.

The Brazilian, considered one of the best left-backs in the world, will no doubt be keeping an eye on Casilla’s progress at Elland Road.

Kean stays

Leeds United have found themselves linked with a move for Italian forward Moise Kean on numerous occasions over the past six months.

However, it is fairly clear now that they do not stand a chance of signing him.

Juventus sporting director Fabrice Paratici has told Goal that Kean has ‘immense potential’ and the club have no plans to move him on.
