Why Patrick Bamford is absent from Leeds United's matchday squad to face Chelsea

Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia has revealed that Patrick Bamford was left out of his matchday squad to face Chelsea due to a leg injury.

The Whites forward has had to deal with numerous issues over the past few months and had groin surgery over the winter break in order to correct issues that had stopped him from returning sooner.

But despite his woes this season, he's still managed 10 goal involvements in his 20 appearances in all competitions, meaning fans will be hoping that Bamford won't join strike partner Rodrigo on the injury table for too long.
