Neil Redfearn has provided an injury update on Leeds United starlet Zan Benedicic.

The young midfielder joined the Whites on a season-long loan from AC Milan during the summer, but struggled with injury problems almost immediately.




He picked up a knee injury last year and was forced to undergo surgery in Belgium.

 


And now Redfearn has provided an update on Benedicic, who had been tipped to return in the new year.

"He's gone back to Italy. He's had the operation", Redfearn told a press conference.

"Obviously he's in rehab now, but I don't think he's at the point where he can start rehab fully", he continued.

"But he's had his operation."

It is unclear when Benedicic will be available for selection for Leeds once again, but the jury is out on the Whites pushing to sign him permanently at the end of the season due to the limited game time he has enjoyed at Elland Road.
