Leeds United fans will have their fingers and toes crossed that Patrick Bamford will be fit enough to start on Sunday against Chelsea at Elland Road. The striker could be seen limping out of Leeds’ 2-2 draw with Southampton on Saturday and there was some concern as he clutched at his groin.
Jesse Marsch confirmed after the game that Bamford felt some tightness in his adductor and was brought off the field as a precaution. As such, he is expected to train this week and he should be in contention for a starting spot when the Whites take on Thomas Tuchel’s side this weekend.
The same can be said for Joe Gelhardt. The young forward missed his chance to pick up extended minutes at St Mary’s due to the dead leg he picked up in training in the build-up to the contest.
