Patrick Bamford, and not Eddie Nketiah, will start against Sheffield Wednesday, says Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa.
Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s decision to start Patrick Bamford and not Eddie Nketiah against Sheffield Wednesday this weekend.
The Whites will take on Wednesday away from home at the Hillsborough Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Ahead of the match, Bielsa said that Bamford will retain his place in the team ahead of fellow striker and Arsenal-owned youngster Nketiah, as quoted in Leeds Live.
Bamford is a more experienced striker than the 20-year-old, but the former Nottingham Forest and Chelsea prospect has been struggling in front of goal.
The 26-year-old has scored four goals and provided one assist in 13 Championship appearances for the Whites so far this season, according to WhoScored.
As for Nketiah, the 20-year-old striker has scored three goals in nine substitute appearances in the Championship for Bielsa’s side so far this season, according to WhoScored.
