Leeds have not added a senior striker this summer and the familiar sight of Daniel James replacing Patrick Bamford as the England forward trudged off was enough for fans to fear the worst last weekend.

Fortunately, head coach Jesse Marsch forecasts Bamford’s absence to be a brief one – if at all.

Sunday’s fixture at home to Chelsea could prove too soon for the 29-year-old but Bamford’s identification of an issue and subsequent honesty at St Mary’s Stadium pleased head coach Marsch.
