Jesse Marsch will check on the fitness of Patrick Bamford on Saturday ahead of this weekend’s clash with Chelsea at Elland Road. The Leeds United striker could be seen limping out of last Saturday’s draw with Southampton with a tight adductor and Marsch admits he won’t risk him in the game if he’s not right.
As such, a decision will be made tomorrow from the head coach after the club’s final training session in preparation for the Premier League clash. However, Joe Gelhardt is fit to be involved after missing the tip down to St Mary’s with a dead leg.
Marsch has also revealed that club captain Liam Cooper could be fit enough to be involved against Thomas Tuchel’s side, but again, he will be assessed fully on Saturday.
