PFA Championship Team of the Year revealed, no place for Patrick Bamford

Bamford omitted from PFA Team of the Year

The recently-crowned Championship Player of the Year, Middlesbrough forward Patrick Bamford, has not been included in the PFA Championship Team of the Year.

Chelsea loanee Bamford beat off competition from Ipswich Town's Daryl Murphy and Troy Deeney of Watford to claim the award last weekend, but has been omitted from the PFA's Best XI.

Murphy and Deeney, who have scored 25 and 21 goals respectively this season, lead the line in the PFA XI, but there are two other Boro players present.

Left-back George Friend and centre-midfielder Grant Leadbitter are both included, while the team is completed by players from Sheffield Wednesday, Bournemouth, Derby County, Norwich City, Brentford and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

PFA Championship Team of the Year: Westwood; Francis, Keogh, Martin, Friend; Ritchie, Leadbitter, Pritchard, Sako; Murphy, Deeney

Six of Bamford's Stamford Bridge seniors were included in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.
