Leeds United fans have been reacting to news surrounding Patrick Bamford following Marcelo Bielsa’s press conference.
The England international was a crucial part of Leeds United’s success last year. Despite having a few doubters when it came to his abilities in the Premier League, he silenced the critics by scoring 17 goals and chipping in with eight assists as Leeds secured a top-half finish before securing an England spot during the first international break this season.
However, this season has been a different story, as he has been out for some time with an ankle injury, and speaking during his press conference today, Leeds boss Bielsa hinted that he will be out a little while longer and that there was ‘still no timeframe’ for his return, according to Adam Pope).
The news did not go down well with Leeds United fans as they expressed their concern when they saw it flash across their timelines:
“When will it end”
Have Leeds become over-reliant on Bamford?
Yes
No
You can certainly understand the concern here given that Leeds have only managed to win two games so far this season in the league and currently sit just one place and three points above the drop zone, so Bamford’s goals could prove crucial in pushing them further up the table.
