Jesse Marsch has told Patrick Bamford to “stop worrying” and focus on enjoying football ahead of his Leeds United return. Injury problems have plagued the 29-year-old’s career over the last 18 months.
A stellar breakthrough season in the Premier League two years ago saw Bamford score 17 goals and receive international recognition. The gung-ho system adopted by Marcelo Bielsa appeared tailor-made for the forward as he was playing the best football of his career.
But several long-term injuries have stalled Bamford’s progress - and all but ended his England career. In the meantime, Leeds have struggled without an out-and-out striker.
