Patrick Bamford is pushing to make his Leeds United return but it's hard to see where he fits in right now
Daniel Farke described the almost fit again Patrick Bamford as ‘priceless’ when asked about the striker during a press conference last week. The Leeds United forward is on the verge of making a return to the fold under Farke after spending the best part of two months on the sidelines with the hamstring injury he picked up against Hearts in pre-season.
Indeed, Bamford has shown he can find the back of the net at most levels when he’s firing on all cylinders and supporters certainly haven’t forgotten his exploits in white under Marcelo Bielsa. However, the biggest question surrounding his return is where Bamford fits into this new look Leeds side under Farke or whether he even does at all.
Rutter hasn’t been quite as ruthless in front of goal, but as he grows in confidence and poise, he’s rapidly becoming one of Leeds’ most exciting players. His performance on Saturday in the number nine role against the Hornets was sublime and while he only has two goals to his name, dropping him to make way for Bamford doesn’t feel like an option at present.
Over the years, more often than not Bamford has started when he’s been fit. The forward has been the leading man, for better or for worse, for some time and he’s used to the pressure that comes with leading the line.
