Marcelo Bielsa gives Adam Forshaw injury update ahead of Charlton Athletic trip

Marcelo Bielsa has been handed an injury boost ahead of Leeds United's trip to Charlton Athletic, with midfielder Adam Forshaw set to be available.

Forshaw has missed Leeds' last two matches with a hip complaint that kept him out of training during the international break.

Jamie Shackleton has stepped up into the first team in his absence, as Leeds reclaimed their place at the top of the Championship table, but addressing the media in a press conference on Thursday, Bielsa indicated that Forshaw should be available for selection.

"We believe we will count on him," he told the media at Thorp Arch.
