LEEDS UNITED have announced that six players have been released following their relegation from the Premier League.
The most notable are first team stars Adam Forshaw and Joel Robles.
Leeds are preparing for life in the Championship
The Yorkshire side have also released Will Brook and Stuart McKinstry plus scholars Ben Andreucci and Jay Buchan.
The club are preparing for life in the Championship following a dismal campaign that saw them exit the Premier League.
It seems there might still be a future for Forshaw, 31, and Robles, 32, at the club after Leeds announced the unusual decision to invite the pair back to the club for pre-season training next month.
In a statement Leeds said: “We would like to express our thanks to those players who will leave the club in the coming weeks and wish them well for the future.”
Goalkeeper Robles has been linked with an immediate return to the Premier League, with Everton among those said to have an interest with uncertainty around their No1 Jordan Pickford.
Sam Allardyce made the Spaniard his preferred choice for the final four games of the season as he ousted Illan Meslier.
Midfielder Forshaw, who’d been at the club since 2018, made 12 Premier League appearances for the club last season and has a history of injury issues.
Brook, 19, and McKinstry, 20, were on the fringes of the first ream.
