Sky Sports pundit Michael Dawson expects Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford to feel 'mentally drained' after sustaining his fourth injury since the start of last season.
Bamford was withdrawn inside 28 minutes after sustaining a suspected groin injury and looks braced for another spell on the sidelines. The 28-year-old played just 10 times for Leeds across all competitions last term and was beginning to look as if a full recovery was possible.
Dawson, who covered Leeds' 2-2 draw against Southampton on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday, believes Bamford's injury problems played a role in the Whites' struggles last season.
