Leeds United behind the scenes: Jean-Kevin Augustin impact, Marcelo Bielsa's lockdown activities

There may currently be no action on the pitch, but it has been an eventful few days behind the scenes at Leeds United, with the Championship season one step closer to resuming.

All football in the UK has been suspended since mid-March, which has raised fears the final nine games of the season may not be played.

But sides in the Championship could be set to start contact training next week in a boost to their hopes of finishing the campaign.

For Leeds, Jean-Kevin Augustin has been pictured training for the first time since the team returned to Thorp Arch.

The RB Leipzig loanee entered the hiatus with a troubling hamstring injury which had ruled him out of the Whites ’ last three matches.

It looked increasingly unlikely the French striker would have time to recover, return to full match fitness and then supplant Patrick Bamford before the campaign ended.

However, the lockdown has given Augustin the time to recover from the injury and train ferociously before this week's return.

What kind of impact can the striker have? And what has Marcelo Bielsa been up to lockdown?

LeedsLive's very own Beren Cross and Joe Mewis were on hand to answer all your questions on the above and more on Wednesday afternoon, and you can watch it all in the video above.
