One photographer gave Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa a taste of his own medicine on Friday.
Leeds United had their own spy to contend with this week…..sort of.
The Mirror revealed that it sent a photographer to Leeds’ Thorp Arch complex in West Yorkshire on Friday, in the aftermath of ‘spygate’.
United boss Marcelo Bielsa has admitted this week that he has ‘spied’ on every Championship team, after one of his staff was found in the bushes outside Derby’s training ground last Thursday.
And although Bielsa wasn’t present when The Mirror‘s photographer ‘spied’ on his team’s training, a number of players did catch the person in action – but saw the funny side thankfully.
According to the report, Patrick Bamford gestured as if he was watching them through binoculars, while left-back Barry Douglas filmed the onlookers with a Go-Pro.
The Mirror might have inadvertently revealed some good news for Leeds fans here.
There has been very little mentioned about Bamford in recent weeks, after suffering yet another injury, but the fact that he is training outside is positive.
The former Middlesbrough hitman, a £7 million signing last summer [Daily Mail], has only played 29 minutes of football for Leeds since August. That came at Bolton last month, when he scored the winner.
Bielsa’s side lost 2-1 at Stoke City on Saturday, but they still have a four-point cushion in the automatic promotion places.
