As the footballing world continues to wait on edge about what will happen to the current season, players are having to spend a significant amount of time away from the pitch – something that isn’t exactly ideal for top-level athletes.
But Leeds ace Jean-Kevin Augustin is seemingly doing everything he can to make sure he gets in tip-top shape for if and when the campaign resumes.

In a video posted on the Whites’ official Twitter account, the Frenchman can be seen working out, no doubt trying to ensure he is completely in tune with Marcelo Bielsa’s notorious demands.
And after watching the footage, Leeds fans flooded to the replies section in their droves.
Some Leeds fans talked up how Augustin could return a different animal when the Championship resumes, and suggested he could be their “new secret weapon”.
Having signed him on a loan deal from Bundesliga side RB Leipzig back in the January transfer window, Leeds may have hoped Augustin could play a leading role in their promotion charge and give Patrick Bamford some much-needed competition.
Instead, he has played a total of just 48 minutes of Championship football, and hasn’t even been involved in the match-day squad in five out of the ten league games he has been at the club for.
But if he can make sure he is in great condition when the season kick-starts again, there’s no reason why he can’t be the man to give Leeds that extra little spark to ensure their return to the top-flight.
Meanwhile, Leeds fans discuss Phil Hay’s report on the club’s finances.
