Back in training Bamford (foot) is back in training and could be on the bench Saturday against Leicester City, according to manager Jesse Marsch. "It's a little bit difficult to say, we'll evaluate...

Impact There's a chance Marsch only wanted to get a positive update out in his first press conference, as it seems unlikely Bamford will play Saturday. Plantar fasciitis is a tricky thing and while it's very touch and go, Bamford has been out for three months, so his fitness is likely not where it needs to be to step onto the pitch.

Remains out Bamford is still dealing with the same foot problem and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Bamford has played just 22 minutes since September and unfortunately it doesn't look like his plantar fasciitis issue isn't getting better. That injury can only improve with rest and for now, it's unknown when improvement will happen. It wouldn't be surprising if Bamford had to miss another month with the issue, if not more.

Still dealing with foot injury Bamford remains out for upcoming matches, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa. "Bamford has not improved, he continues with the problems at the bottom of his foot."

Impact This isn't a positive update going out of the international break and it likely means another few weeks on the sidelines for Bamford, if not more. Plantar fasciitis is a tricky injury and it sounds like that's what he's dealing with, something that can brew up at any time.

Out with new injury Bamford is out with a new injury on the bottom of his foot and is set to miss Saturday's game against Newcastle, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact It's been a tough season for Bamford and it doesn't appear to be getting any better. He's had all kinds of issues this season and something on the bottom of his foot doesn't sound good. Fortunately for Leeds, it looks like a couple of their young strikers are available again and even if not, Daniel James played up top last match.

Remains out Bamford is not in the match day squad to face West Ham on Sunday.

Impact Bamford will not return, but was close to making an appearance after suffering from a hip injury. Look for the forward to return for next week's clash with Newcastle.

JANUARY 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be available Sunday Bamford (hip) is expected to be fit for Sunday's trip to West Ham, reports David Anderson of Daily Mirror.

Impact While the hip issue wasn't deemed to be serious, it's still another issue after Bamford recently returned from a hamstring injury. On the positive side, he was going to start Sunday's FA Cup match, so if the hip injury isn't serious, there's a slight chance he starts in league play. If not, Sam Greenwood could get the call up front again.

Out for FA Cup game Bamford missed Sunday's FA Cup defeat against West Ham with a hip injury, according to Phil Hay of the Athletic.

Impact Bamford has struggled with injuries all season and it looks like he has a new issue with his hip. Leeds are still evaluating the extent of the injury and whether he will be forced to miss even more time.

JANUARY 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to be option for Cup match Bamford (hamstring) has recovered and is expected to be an option for Sunday's FA Cup match, reports David Anderson of Daily Mirror.

Impact Bamford hasn't played a full match since September, so Marcelo Bielsa will likely take things slow. The forward pulled his hamstring Dec. 5 in his original return and may need multiple bench appearances before he starts again. Either way, his return is a massive boost to the side.

JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Hamstring injury confirmed Bamford suffered a hamstring injury last match and will be assessed daily with his status for Saturday's trip to Chelsea likely being out.

Impact It's hard to see Bamford playing less than a week after injuring his hamstring unless it's a very minor tweak. If it's a simple tweak, a lot of times that will still take a couple weeks to recover and there's a chance he'll miss multiple matches, a massive disappointment after returning from an ankle injury.

DECEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Reportedly injured after celebration Bamford suffered a hamstring injury following a celebration of his goal in Sunday's draw against Brentford, reports the Daily Mail.

Impact This would be something if Bamford truly picked up another injury after only going 22 minutes following his ankle injury. More information should come out in the next couple days, but if it's indeed a hamstring issue, he may be forced to miss another week or two.

Bamford marks return with late equalizer for Leeds in EPL

Patrick Bamford marked his first appearance in more than two months with an equalizer in the fifth minute of added time to earn Leeds a 2-2 draw at home to Brentford in the Premier...

Returns with goal Bamford (ankle) came off the bench and scored once during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Brentford.

Impact Bamford scored in his return from an ankle injury that kept him out for over two months. The forward looked himself off the bench and was composed in front of goal. It's worth keeping an eye on Bamford as a fantasy option, and a consistent performer, when he returns to the starting XI. Though his upcoming matchups are horrible.

DECEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Should be option Sunday Bamford (ankle) will be available for Sunday's match against Brentford, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact This was expected to be the case for Bamford, who went 90 minutes with the U23s on Monday. He may not be ready to start Sunday, but he'll surely get some minutes off the bench if in the squad, a major boost for Leeds.

Goes full 90 with U23s Bamford (ankle) went the full 90 in Monday's match with the U23s.

Impact Bamford won't play for the senior team Tuesday, but this is a good sign that he should be an option by Sunday. He'll hope to recover quickly from this game and if he can train fully this week, he could even be in the starting XI against Brentford.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Getting minutes with U23s Bamford (ankle) will play with the U23s on Monday and could be an option by the weekend, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Bamford is in the final stage of recovery and should return to the squad within the next week. It's normal for Leeds players returning from injury to play with the U23s and that's the case with Bamford. The hope is that he can get back to full fitness and be an option by Sunday.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

In final stage of recovery Bamford (ankle) is in the final stage of recovery, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Bamford will miss at least one more match and probably another given this update. The final stage of recovery doesn't mean much, as two months ago Bamford was thought to be returning from the injury. The hope is that he can get back in training next week.

NOVEMBER 26, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still out against Tottenham Bamford (ankle) will remain out for Sunday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact This isn't too surprising, as there have been no updates on a possible return to training for Bamford. It wouldn't be surprising if he missed a couple more matches with this injury, something Leeds fans don't want to hear after a nervy month.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Remains without timeline Bamford (ankle) will remain out Sunday against Leicester City and doesn't have a timeline to return, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Bamford has been out since September and it doesn't appear that he's training just yet. He was expected to train over the last international break, but it's not guaranteed he'll train during this upcoming one. In his absence, Rodrigo has tried his hand as a central forward, but Jack Harrison most recently moved there last match in a clearly evolving role.

NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out two more games Bamford (ankle) will not be available for the next two games, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact This recovery is not going to plan for Bamford, who originally hoped to return during the international break. He's been out for a month and will miss two more weeks, likely leading to more starts for Rodrigo, who has struggled getting going in a more forward role.

OCTOBER 21, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Southampton trip Bamford (ankle) will remain out for Saturday's trip to Southampton, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact It's unfortunate news on Bamford but not overly surprising given his injury. He's been out since Sept. 17 and with another week of rehab, will hope to return next week against Wolves. Rodrigo should once again start up front for Leeds against Southampton.
