Leeds share more positive injury news before Villa; 'incredibly fit' ace spotted at Elland Road

Leeds United have posted footage on their Instagram page of Junior Firpo running at Elland Road weeks after a hamstring injury he picked up against West Ham.

Firpo, previously labelled as ‘incredibly fit’ by Kevin Campbell, has endured a frustrating first season at Elland Road.

The left-back has missed seven Premier League games this season and has completed 90 minutes in the top flight on just six occasions.

The Spaniard went off against West Ham with what appeared to be a hamstring issue and missed the defeat to Newcastle prior to the break, but it seems as if he could be involved against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Leeds provided a number of positive injury updates in the week, sharing images of Kalvin Phillips, Liam Cooper and Charlie Cresswell all smiles at Thorp Arch.

They shared a video of Firpo running at Elland Road on Instagram on Friday, which can be viewed here.

Although it isn’t a sprint, it’s good to see that Firpo is able to move freely following his latest muscle issue.

That could mean he has a chance of making the matchday squad against Villa in the week, with journalist Beren Cross expecting Firpo and Adam Forshaw to be available for Marcelo Bielsa.

That would give the Leeds boss options in both defence and midfield, which could prove key in what looks set to be a crucial month as the Whites look to pull away from the relegation zone.
