Daniel Farke has spoken about his preference for a moderate squad size
Everybody knows the quality that Patrick Bamford possesses. The striker enjoyed a purple patch of form between January and March, playing an integral role in Leeds United's top-two charge.
It was a welcome boost for the Whites to have the experienced forward back on the bench in Saturday's comfortable win at Cardiff City. Daniel Farke resisted the temptation to throw Bamford on and to give him some game time. It is crystal clear Farke wants to gently ease Bamford back into the fold. The last thing he wants or needs is for Bamford to break down and suffer another injury setback.
Farke's list of first team absentees features just three players: Max Wober, Manor Solomon and Daniel James. The trip to South Wales came too soon for Wober to be considered for selection. Talented youngster James Debayo was drafted into the matchday squad to provide centre-back cover. With Daniel James on the mend from a hamstring problem and expected to be fit again after the next international, it looks increasingly likely that Farke will have a strong squad to pick from for the tricky run of matches looming on the horizon.
