Leeds boss Jesse Marsch reveals Patrick Bamford and Liam Cooper could feature against Everton on Tuesday night - as the American confirms both players are close to returning from injury

Leeds could call on Patrick Bamford and Liam Cooper against Everton tonight after manager Jesse Marsch revealed both are close to returning from injury.

Bamford, who spent most of last season on the sidelines, has missed the last two games after picking up an adductor injury against Southampton. Cooper, meanwhile, returned from injury to play in Leeds’ Carabao Cup victory against Barnsley but sat out Saturday’s defeat at Brighton with a knock.

‘We’ll see how Liam is doing, Patrick will be really close for that match so we should have options,’ said Marsch.
