Adam Forshaw will miss the match against Swansea City, but since Leeds have Kalvin Phillips, is that really such a big deal?
Forshaw won't be ready for tomorrow's game. The only change will be Hernandez in for Clarke. "The situation with Adam didn't evolve as we thought it would so he won't be in the group tomorrow." #lufc

Kalvin Phillips has been used at central defender almost as much as defensive midfielder this season, and while he’s filled in brilliantly at centre-back, he’s best when he’s deployed as a defensive midfielder. Everything just works so much better with him in that role.
So while missing Forshaw will test the depth of the Leeds midfield, Phillips probably should be starting there anyway.
