Marcelo Bielsa Comments on Leeds United Injury Crisis<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Depleted Squad<\/h3>\n

There has been a lot made of other teams in the Premier League having games called off amidst the pandemic recently. Leeds have filled their bench with teenagers and have suffered through in the absence of numerous senior players.<\/p>\n

As previously mentioned, Bamford is at the fore of the issues for Bielsa with goals being hard to come by. Jack Harrison netted his first-ever hat-trick in the win over West Ham United last time out but besides that, they\u2019ve been hard-pressed for goals. Bielsa has said that Bamford is now suffering from a different injury, this time in his foot. It is unlikely he will feature against Newcastle United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bielsa said Bamford has recovered from his previous injury issue. This is a different problem. #lufc<\/a><\/p>\n
