Patrick Bamford Axed from Leeds Pre-Season Tour After 'Honest Talks' with Manager
Bamford axed from Leeds pre-season tour

Leeds United's injury-plagued striker Patrick Bamford has been told he is not part of the club's Premier League plans after being excluded from their pre-season tour of Germany.

The 30-year-old forward, who has struggled with fitness issues in recent seasons, was left out following 'honest conversations' with manager Daniel Farke about his role in the squad.

Bamford's Leeds Future in Doubt

This development raises serious questions about Bamford's future at Elland Road, with the club reportedly open to offers for the former Chelsea and Middlesbrough player.

Bamford, who scored 16 Premier League goals in the 2020-21 season, has seen his career hampered by persistent injuries over the past two campaigns.

Farke's Rebuilding Plans

The decision comes as new manager Farke looks to reshape his squad for their Championship promotion push, having already signed several attacking options this summer.

Leeds fans will remember Bamford's crucial contributions during their Premier League years, but it appears the club is now looking to move in a different direction under their German tactician.
