Jesse Marsch has moved to allay any long-term injury fears following Patrick Bamford’s absence on Saturday. The Whites came from 3-1 down at Elland Road to win 4-3 against Bournemouth and pick up their second straight Premier League win in the most thrilling fashion.
However, Bamford wasn’t involved at all against the Cherries after picking up a slight hip issue on Friday. Bamford has struggled with injuries over the last couple of seasons and consequently he hasn’t been able to build up consistency or any kind of form in front of goal of late.
The latest issue is a blow for the striker and he isn’t expected to feature in the Carabao Cup clash with Wolves on Wednesday night. However, Marsch is hopeful that Bamford could return to play a role in the club’s final game before the World Cup break, against Tottenham Hotspur next Saturday.
