Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford in line for England call-up?

Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford may reportedly be called up by England boss Gareth Southgate if Marcus Rashford fails a fitness test on a shoulder injury.

Leeds United forward Patrick Bamford is reportedly in contention for a late call-up to the England squad.

Despite netting six goals from seven starts ahead of the weekend, the 27-year-old was not included by Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate when he named his latest group last Thursday.

However, according to The Times, an injury to Manchester United attacker Marcus Rashford has left Bamford on the brink of his first appearance in the senior squad.

Rashford is due to have a shoulder injury assessed on Monday, throwing up the possibility of Bamford receiving a call from Southgate later in the day.

The frontman netted his seventh strike of the campaign against Crystal Palace on Saturday, as well as having another effort controversially disallowed for offside.

England are due to face Republic of Ireland, Belgium and Iceland over the next 10 days, although the third fixture is in doubt due to government-imposed travel restrictions.
