Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa has told Leeds Live that it is likely that Patrick Bamford and Luke Ayling will be back in action against Brentford.
Bielsa’s Leeds will take on Brentford at Elland Road in the Premier League on Sunday.
Star striker Bamford and defender Ayling played for the Leeds Under-23 side this week.
The two players have been struggling with injuries.
Patrick Bamford and Luke Ayling update
Leeds boss Bielsa has said that both the players are likely to be involved in the match against Brentford at Elland Road.
Bielsa told Leeds Live when asked about Bamford and Ayling: “It’s likely they will be available for the game on Sunday.”
Exciting for Leeds United fans
Bamford is the best striker at Leeds, and Ayling is a very capable defender.
Both players potentially playing against Brentford this weekend will enhance Leeds’s chances of winning the Premier League game.
The Whites got the better of Crystal Palace 1-0 at Elland Road in the league on Tuesday.
That will have enhanced the confidence of the players.
Now, in our opinion, Bielsa will be cautious about throwing Bamford and Ayling into the starting lineup against Brentford.
It is likely that Bamford and Ayling will be used as substitutes.
