​Leeds striker Bamford set for extended sideline spell

Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has suffered yet another injury setback.

The forward came off after 23 minutes in their 3-2 win over Wolves on March 18th.

He collided with Wolves shot stopper Jose Sa, and has ruptured his plantar fascia, per Leeds.

Leeds' head of medicine and performance Rob Price said: "As all of the stats show, Patrick has put his body on the line for Leeds United for a number of seasons, he has played with a plantar fascia injury for the last 12 months and despite treatment and a prolonged period of rehabilitation, the injury has progressed from a partial tear to a full rupture.

"As all sports medics know, injuries to the plantar fascia are notoriously difficult to manage, but all concerned are confident that he will make a full recovery from this injury in good time."

Leeds are in a relegation battle, but this news means that Bamford may not play very much between now and the end of the season.
