# Leeds: Phil Hay drops Rodrigo and Patrick Bamford injury update

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) attacking duo Rodrigo and Patrick Bamford could both start the Whites’ [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clash against Crystal Palace, according to Phil Hay.**

### The Lowdown: Leeds head to south London

Jesse Marsch’s side are back in league action on Sunday afternoon as they make what could be a potentially tricky trip to Selhurst Park.

Leeds battled their way to a hard-earned 0-0 draw at home to Aston Villa in their last outing, having to make do without the red-carded Luis Sinisterra for almost all of the second half.

Ahead of this afternoon’s clash in south London, a positive update has emerged regarding Rodrigo and Bamford, both of whom had been struck down by [recent injuries](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-injury-list-return-25151502).

### The Latest: Leeds duo could be fit

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1578363940479807488?s=20&t=yeVCVEG-wqdhd_EjYMXkrA) on Friday afternoon at the manager’s pre-game press conference, Hay shared a claim from Marsch that the attacking pair could both be in contention to start for Leeds against the Eagles.

The Athletic reporter tweeted:

### The Verdict: Potentially massive boost

To have both Rodrigo and Bamford available against Palace would be a significant boost, giving Marsch great options and firepower for a tough game.

The former has [four goals in six league starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/83459/Show/Rodrigo) this season, while the latter’s pedigree is undeniable when he is fully fit, having [netted 17 times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/109670/History/Patrick-Bamford) in the league in 2020/21.

It remains to be seen if either or both of Rodrigo and Bamford will start proceedings today, but if Marsch feels that they are ready to feature, they could forge a potent partnership at Selhurst Park.
