Leeds United’s injury worries took another hit in the first-half against Crystal Palace as Adam Forshaw was substituted on the half-hour mark. The midfielder was seemingly brought off as a precautionary measure, but a pitch side conversation with Whites physio Rob Price hinted at something a little more.
Friday’s so-called friendly was another feisty affair in the first-half, with four yellow cards and heavy challenges from both sides forcing Jesse Marsch to have words with the Palace bench. Colombian winger Luis Sinisterra was taken off with a suspected hamstring injury after going to ground under minimal contact.
And Forshaw was on the receiving end of some clumsy challenges from Palace players before jogging off on the half-hour mark. The timing of the substitute suggested it may have been planned, but the 30-year-old had a brief conversation with Price on the touchline before going straight down the tunnel to be replaced by Marc Roca.
