YEP report shares when Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford will return from injury
Leeds United attacker Patrick Bamford is expected to return for the Brighton and Brentford games this season.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, the England international is likely to end his ‘Significant’ injury layoff on the penultimate gameweek of the campaign.
Bamford should be fit for the Whites’ final home game against Brighton on May 15 as well as on the last day of the season.
Good news
It’s been a forgettable season for more reasons than one for Leeds fans.
It all began even before a ball was kicked as a disappointing window saw just one key player joining in Junior Firpo.
On deadline day, they signed Dan James to very little fanfare and both moves have not really worked out for them.
Results were bad and Marcelo Bielsa was shown the door midway through the season – something no fan thought would happen.
There was a time when the Whites were even favourites for 18th place which would see them getting relegated.
Thus, Bamford returning for the final home game for the season will be celebrated as there have been few moments of joy in the last few months.
Thankfully, Jesse Marsch has managed to steady the ship and relegation now seems to be unlikely as they’ve established a significant lead from the chasing pack.
Hopefully, two more wins should do the trick as Everton and Burnley both seem to be struggling for form.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites are leading the race to complete a major signing and have already opened talks to seal a £25m deal.
