Reports coming out that Bamford is fit for the Fulham game and it was just a bad knock he had last game.
Hope it's true and hope it lets Bamford get the England call-up his efforts this season deserve.

Bamford

Bamford has a painful knock that should not prevent him playing. Rodrigo has a muscle injury that whilst not considered serious there is a possibility he will miss Friday.
Cooper is sick and Davis has a slight muscular strain.

I can see Dortmund’s point, Bellingham is a pointless inclusion.
As is bamford. Who looks good, he just won’t get a look in. Might get a call up for a friendly here or there, but the established competition is way beyond him at the moment.,he’d have to go on one hell of a run.

He has been excellent this season, but he showed his Championship pedigree against the Hammers. Those misses were poor. Mind you, I queried then whether he was carrying an injury, as he looked to be limping at the end. Hopefully he's fit enough to hurt Fulham on Friday.

He hasn’t made it. Gutted for him.
I actually think Watkins is the better player and it’s the right call. But I desperately wanted it to be Bamford. You can tell it would have meant the world to him to just win one cap.

Needs to research his Welsh, Scottish or Irish ancestry ........

Disappointing but at least it means he can focus on as scoring as many goals as possible between now and the end of the season for Leeds, to get us up the league - starting tomorrow night!

Ireland have been chasing him for years and he always rejected them. Think they have given up now.
Don’t think he ever expected to get close to England though. I know he rejected them because he wanted to focus on getting us promoted first.

He's eligible to play for Ireland. He burned his bridges a few years ago, however given his form this season, they'd be daft to not try get him again.

Bamford's English and should be playing for England, nobody else! I think it's a real shame and don't agree at all that Watkins is the better striker. Watkins certainly doesn't have Bamford's intelligence, fitness levels or work-rate.
But then again I really don't rate Gareth Southgate at all so it's not surprising he's made this selection mistake.

Don't see a better player in Watkins to be honest.
