Forshaw on experiencing Premier League survival from the sidelines
Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw said it was agonising to watch his side fight for Premier League survival without him as he recovered from injury.
A fractured kneecap kept the Liverpudlian from contributing to the Whites’ edgy run-in, which had a happy ending as United secured their Premier League status on the final day with a 2-1 win at Brentford.

Hide AdNow back in action on the pitch as Leeds make their preparations for the new season on a tour of Australia, Forshaw has been reflecting on the end of last season.
"It was terrible, especially the Brighton game at home, but the Brentford game was the worst game I've ever sat and watched in my life," he said.
"I was sat next to Bill [Luke Ayling] just behind the dugouts and I've never been so nervous in all my life. The lads showed real calmness though, they were more calm than I was and they did the job.
"It was relief. We enjoyed the night on the Sunday, we'd stayed in the Premier League so it was massive for us."
