Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford has admitted some frustration during the international break.

Sheffield United are Saturday's visitors to Elland Road, two long weeks after Leeds signed off for the international break with a 2-1 win over Fulham.

"It's always nice to play the next game after an international break because it is long," Bamford, who narrowly missed out on an England call up last month, told the Official Leeds United podcast.

"Two weeks without a game, I'm sure the fans feel it, not being able to watch but for players, it's just as bad. You're just counting down to when you can next play a match. All the boys are eager."

After getting some time off to recuperate last week, Bamford said it was back to training with a bang this week.

“I had a little bit of time off. Since last week, I had Sunday off, that was it," he added.

“Yesterday I was with the physio to make sure I could train today, thinking it would just be drills.

“Bam, straight in with murderball today! I'm not going to lie, I was struggling a little bit after, I was tired."
