Leeds United are set to be boosted by the return of Samuel Saiz this weekend, with the Spanish playmaker returning to training ahead of the clash with Bolton Wanderers tomorrow. Â
A hamstring injury had kept Saiz out of Leedsâ defeat to Sheffield Wednesday prior to the international break, however, Heckingbottom has revealed that the 27-year-old has been training at 95% ahead of tomorrowâs visit of Bolton, with Leeds hopeful of managing him through the contest.
The clubâs official Twitter account (@LUFC) have moved to share an update on Saiz, with the Spaniard pictured in training ahead of tomorrowâs clash.
Saiz has enjoyed a successful first season in English football, scoring five goals and adding six assists in the Sky Bet Championship, proving to be one of very few positive for Leeds during the 2017/18 campaign.
Leeds have picked up just one victory in 2018, which has led to the Whites sliding from the play-offs to 14th in a matter of months, with a mid-table finish seemingly inevitable at Elland Road.
Tomorrowâs clash with Bolton will be the start of the run-in, with Leeds having eight fixtures of the season remaining.
The Verdict
Leeds havenât seen nearly enough of Saiz in 2018, with injuries and suspensions hindering the forwardâs involvement.
That has cost Leeds, who have really missed Saiz when he hasnât been available this season.
Seeing the 27-year-old back in action tomorrow afternoon will be a big boost for the Whites.
