Elephants in the Leeds United dressing room don’t come a whole lot more obvious than Tyler Adams’s impending suspension. The midfielder, expected back at Thorp Arch this week, will be missing from Manchester City’s visit in a fortnight.
The only saving grace for Jesse Marsch is the time he has had to plan and prepare for the absence. The head coach has known it's been coming and knows who he has to rely on in his compatriot’s vacancy.
The other silver lining is the convenient return to fitness of Adam Forshaw, who has been in full training since before the Tottenham Hotspur loss. The 31-year-old was in the thick of the training action at Oliva Nova last week as he zeros in on a 2023 comeback.
