Daniel Farke's comments suggest he may be handed a Leeds United lifeline
While some may have written off Patrick Bamford ’s necessity in Leeds United’s promotion bid, Daniel Farke certainly hasn’t.
His justifiably strict transfer policy meant no new number nine was acquired, and Bamford has yet to return to team training. There is hope that it will not be long before he can take part in group sessions but the manager admits even then, Bamford will take time to get up to full speed. The problem is, just eight have come in his last 43 matches at this level. And furthermore, he has picked up at least one significant injury in each of the past four campaigns. So it’s also easy to see why fans are frustrated.
Speaking on Thursday at Thorp Arch, Farke said: “You need a bit of luck in the final stages in that players are not injured. Patrick Bamford was not available last year, having him at the end of the season would have been different and same for Pascal Struijk. It might be that he is a bit-part player, but that does not mean his usages will necessarily lack impact. His experience at this level is invaluable while his dressing room advice will be key for younger teammates.
