Jesse Marsch has revealed that Joe Gelhardt trained with Leeds United on Friday amid reports that he is close to re-joining Championship outfit Wigan Athletic.
Gelhardt is considering a return to the DW Stadium on a loan deal until the end of the season, according to The Athletic. The 20-year-old has struggled for game time under Marsch this season so far - amassing just 202 minutes of action in the Premier League.
The arrival of club record signing Georginio Rutter from Hoffenheim, coupled with the return of Patrick Bamford from injury will further reduce his chances of featuring in the first team. However, Marsch has confirmed that Gelhardt is still training with the club despite the uncertainty surrounding his immediate future.
