Bamford is not involved at Stamford Bridge and Gracia has revealed that the Whites no 9 has a leg injury. Speaking to Sky Sports, Gracia said: “Pat felt something in his leg and it's better to protect him a little bit and we will see if he is ready for the next game."
Asked how bad that news was for a Leeds side struggling for goals, Gracia reasoned: "We work with the confidence that all of our players are going to score goals, not only our strikers. The only way to achieve our target at the end of the season is something about all of the players, not only about the strikers."
