Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford hasn’t had a particularly great time of late.

A succession of injuries limited the Whites forward to just 11 appearances last season.

And sadly, it’s not been much better this term.

Bamford’s last start for Leeds came away at Southampton on 13 August.

During that match, Jesse Marsch had to withdraw him due to an adductor injury.

Bamford has made only two substitute appearances for Leeds since.

But now, Marsch has heavily hinted that the striker could make his first Whites start in nearly two months.

“I think Patrick is fitter and he’s trained well this week, and I think he’s ready to go,” he told .

“So I think there’s a high likelihood that he’ll be ready for the start.”

And Bamford certainly looks raring to go, based on the latest footage of him in training shared by the Leeds media team.

With his back to goal, the Elland Road ace controlled the ball with his chest and scored with an overhead kick.

This footage should excite Leeds fans, as it shows Bamford looking fit, hungry, and obviously scoring a great acrobatic goal.

If he pulls off a similar effort against Palace, all the better.
