Patrick Bamford arrives with Leeds United squad at Leicester

Leeds United have been handed a major boost with Patrick Bamford arriving with the squad at Leicester City.

Andrea Radrizzani was also present at the King Power Stadium, welcoming the players into the stadium as they arrived.

Graham Smyth shared the major news with Bamford set to be in the squad for the first time since back in December.

Writing on his personal Twitter account, Smyth shared the news that everyone was hoping for ahead of kick off.

“Patrick Bamford is here,” he wrote.

He added: “Andrea Radrizzani welcoming the Leeds United players to the King Power Stadium.”

Big.

This is a huge moment.

Bamford has been missed massively by the Whites, and it is amazing to see him back among the squad on a matchday.

The England international has been given the chance after clearly impressing Jesse Marsch and proving his fitness throughout the week.

It is likely that he will start on the bench, though, and come on if needed towards the end of the clash.

Now, we just await news regarding Kalvin Phillips and Liam Cooper making their imminent returns and this survival fight can really begin.

Hopefully, Bamford can inspire the lads around him to a huge three points today, let’s do it for Marcelo Bielsa.
