Jean-Kevin Augustin is believed to have made real strides in terms of getting into shape during the break from EFL action, as Leeds United await their promotion fate.

The 22-year-old signed for Leeds from RB Leipzig in January, initially on a loan deal until the end of the season with a view to a permanent deal in the summer.

Augustin was definitely a much-needed addition for Leeds. Marcelo Bielsa was on the lookout for an Eddie Nketiah replacement, following his recall by Arsenal due to a lack of game time.

Have Leeds United done these 15 things in the last 10 years?

But the French forward is yet to make a real impact at Leeds, playing only 50 minutes of football across a total of three substitute appearances in the Championship.

After struggling to nurse off a hamstring problem, he will be keen to return to first-team action as soon as possible, with Football Insider providing an exciting update on Augustin.

They claim that coaches reckon he will be a completely different player once football returns, having gone the extra mile to get into shape and shake off an injury.

The striker has spent time at Thorp Arch and undergoing rehab, along with other injured player Adam Forshaw.

Leeds sit top of the Sky Bet Championship table ahead of the final nine games of the season, whenever they may be played.

The Verdict

Augustin should feel like a new signing for Leeds once football returns whenever that may be.

The Frenchman is yet to make a real impact at Elland Road since arriving in January due to injury issues, but he will be keen to make an impact.

His willingness to train at Thorp Arch and get back into shape should be really exciting for Leeds.
