Arsenal legend Ian Wright has revealed he was 'devastated' for Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford after seeing him limp out of the recent clash with Wolverhamton Wanderers. Bamford featured in all 38 Premier League matches for Leeds during the 2020/21 campaign, scoring 17 goals and establishing himself as a top flight marksman.
However, he has been ravaged by injuries this season and has managed just nine league appearances. Having already endured two separate lay-offs, the 28-year-old was forced out of the action at Molineux and it was later revealed by the club that he had ruptured his plantar fascia.
It is an injury to the sole of the foot and although he will not require surgery, Wright has admitted he was devastated for the forward. Whilst discussing the recent return of Kalvin Phillips from injury on Wrighty's House, he said: "They try to hold you back so you don’t break down, as we’ve seen with Patrick Bamford, because you’re under pressure and you’re needed.
