Jesse Marsch says injured Leeds player is just weeks away from return
Leeds United 🤡manager Jesse Marsch has confirmed that Leo Hjelde un♓derwent surgery last week.
The new Elland Road boss also revealed that he expects the 18-year-o🐻ld to be back in weeks.
Hjelde suffered a knee injury in the defeat to Everton in February and has been on the sideli🦩nes since.
There were fears that th𒐪e defender could’ve missed the rest 🎉of the season due to the injury.
However, Marsch has told reporters that Hjelde will b💯e out for weeks instea🍎d of months.
“He had surgery last Wednesday,” quotꩲes the Whites boss as saying. “Seven or eight day൩s ago.
“Immediate feedback is that it was not so severe. His knee hasn’t r♏eacted, h🦂e has full range of motion.
“Recovery looking like a matter of ♒⛦weeks rather than months.”
Hjelde has played thr👍ee times for Leeds United’s senior side since joining from Celtic in the summer.
He has done incredibly well in all of those appearances and looks like a player with realꦫ potential.
Hjelde is also versati🅷le, able to play as both a left-sided centre-back and a left-back.
Marcel💦o Bielsa rated the Norwegian highly and named him in numerous m🎉atchday squads.
Chances are Hjelde will also impress Marsch once he’s bacꦇk in training.
Leeds have 11 games left to play in👍 the Premier League this season, s🦩o the pressure is on.
Hopefully Hjelde will be able to play a part in 💙some of those.
“What a player he’s looking”
Elland Road icon Jermaine Beckford lauded🍒 Hjelde on the official after he shone in January’s 3-2 win over West Ham United.
“The young boy, Hjelde when he came on as well, what a pla𝕴yer he’s looking by th꧑e way,” he said.
“I don’t want to put too much pressure on him.
“But that’s t▨wice we’ve seen him, twice we’ve seen him against West Ham, against a very physical, very strong, very quick centre forward in Michail Antonio and a tricky player in Jarrod Bowen.
“I don’t want to say he had them in his pocket, bꦫut I ꦕthink he did.”
