Bamford did not travel to Sweden for the 0-0 preseason friendly with Manchester United and will not be part of the travelling party for the training camp in Germany after talks with Leeds United manager Farke.

Speaking after the draw against the club's 'old foes' on Saturday, Farke revealed that Bamford's time at the club is coming to an end after a "tough" conversation.

"I had a really, really open and honest conversation with him, and it's quite important for me, because Patrick knows exactly how much I value him as a player," said the Leeds boss.

"I've spoken several times about this and that I would have preferred to have a completely fit Patrick Bramford in the last last two seasons.
