# Leeds: Reporter shares fresh Patrick Bamford injury fear

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) are concerned [Patrick Bamford](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/patrick-bamford/) could be out for a further extended spell following a recent operation.**

### The Lowdown: Surgery in Germany

Bamford, hailed as a [‘hardworking’](https://thisisfutbol.com/2020/10/blogs/premier-league/leeds-united-kalvin-phillips-praises-patrick-bamford/) player by former teammate Kalvin Phillips, has had plenty of injury problems over the past 18 months, missing games last season with [ankle, hamstring and foot](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrick-bamford/verletzungen/spieler/183334) problems.

The 29-year-old has only managed [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrick-bamford/leistungsdaten/spieler/183334) [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) starts during the current campaign and recently underwent [surgery](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-surgery-patrick-bamford-25676511) in Germany prior to domestic football returning.

[Reports](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-surgery-patrick-bamford-25676511) suggested that the procedure went well and that the forward was set to return to training before the New Year, but a worrying update has emerged.

### The Latest: Bamford update

[Football Insider reporter Pete O’Rourke](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-patrick-bamford-set-for-extended-spell-out-in-new-leeds-united-blow/) shared news he’s heard out of Elland Road regarding Bamford in the last 24 hours.

He revealed that the Whites fear the forward could be out for an extended period in a new injury setback.

### The Verdict: New attacking addition crucial

Bamford just can’t remain fully fit for a period of time under Jesse Marsch, with this latest update seemingly another setback for both player and manager.

Therefore, it is even more important that the club bring in a new forward this month to help senior forward Rodrigo.

Failing to do so would be a huge worry ahead of the second half of the season, with Bamford potentially not returning to action for the foreseeable.
