Adam Forshaw lifts lid on Marcelo Bielsa's Thorp Arch classroom sessions with Leeds United

Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw has lifted the lid on Marcelo Bielsa's classroom sessions at Thorp Arch.

The Whites head coach is known for his unforgiving fitness demands and gruelling training regime, which can range from long days out on the grass to studying inside.

Bielsa has made a number of changes to the club's training ground over the past 18 months in terms of layout and has also installed new sleeping quarters - something he has done at previous teams - so his players can recover mentally and physically between sessions.

United's squad are often sent away with homework in the build up to fixtures, with key points on the opposition and information at how they can improve their own game.

Forshaw has been sidelined for nearly four months with a complex hip injury and has been limited to just seven Championship appearances this campaign.

The 28-year-old, though, is hoping to return to action in the coming days and has been working hard to provide a boost to Bielsa's first team squad as the league campaign rumbles on.
