Leeds boss Bielsa confident Bamford will make Fulham clash

Leeds United will have Patrick Bamford available for Friday's clash with Fulham.

The English striker had to be withdrawn prematurely from last weekend's draw with Chelsea.

But manager Marcelo Bielsa says Bamford has recovered in time.

He said: "We think that yes, he will play on Friday.

"He has a knock on his hip that is painful but we don't think it will make him miss the game."

On other injuries, Bielsa added:

"[Liam] Cooper is sick, Davis has a small articulation problem which is not serious. Rodrigo had a contracture yesterday in training which I don't know if he's going to be available on Friday. Either way it's not an important injury."
