The Leeds United pair were pictured travelling together on Friday.
Patrick Bamford appears to have travelled with Leeds United’s Under-23s to Newcastle.
Carlos Corberan’s side take on their Magpies’ counterparts in the Premier League Cup on Friday evening, and it has been speculated this week that Bamford could be involved on Tyneside.
The £7 million summer signing suffered a knee injury on his last appearance for Leeds’ second string in early September, and was not expected to return until January.
But an update on the Instagram story of Izzy Brown, another Leeds player on the road to recovery, showed the pair travelling together on Friday afternoon.
Brown was expected to made his second appearance for Leeds’ U23s at Sheffield United on Monday, but failed to make Corberan’s squad, with reports later suggesting he was being saved for today’s fixture against Newcastle.
Brown and Bamford were teammates at Chelsea, the club from which the former is on loan to Leeds, although it was from Middlesbrough that the Whites acquired the latter in the summer transfer window.
How big a boost would having Bamford back be for Leeds?
