Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has missed much of this season with injury, but is coming back to full health now.

Patrick Bamford has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that Leeds United’s physios were getting annoyed with him during his comeback.

Bamford joined Leeds last summer in a £7 million move (Sky Sports), but his progress has been blighted by injury.

The striker has damaged his knee twice, which has left him sidelined for much of the campaign.

Bamford has just come back into Leeds’ match day squads, and he made an impact last weekend.

Although Leeds lost 3-1 to Norwich City, Bamford managed to get on the scoresheet, after coming on as a substitute.

And Bamford admits any concerns he had about coming back from injury are now gone.

“I was worried I’d be too concerned about my knee and worried about doing things because I was panicking about it but once I got back into training I forgot about the knee.

“The physios were getting a bit annoyed with me because I was doing things without thinking and putting my knee at risk but you’re playing football and we all started doing it because we love the sport. Once you’re back out playing, you’re like a kid again playing in the park.”

Marcelo Bielsa has now confirmed that Bamford will be starting Leeds’ next match.

The Whites are due to take on Middlesbrough, as they look to return to winning ways to strengthen their bid for a top two spot.
