Patrick Bamford was reduced to tears after the striker suffered another injury during his side’s Premier League game against Wolves.
The Leeds forward limped off the pitch midway through the first-half with an ankle injury, after chasing down a loose ball, and was reduced to tears in the dugout alongside his teammates.
It was clearly an emotional moment for Bamford, who covered his face with his t-shirt after taking a seat on the bench, having just returned from a hamstring injury.

The striker had just returned following a lengthy first-team absence with a hamstring injury
The Leeds forward had looked lively in the opening quarter of an hour at the Molineux, showing some neat touches in his play.
The 28-year-old came close to breaking the deadlock for Jesse Marsch’s side when he dragged an effort narrowly wide of the post in the first-half.
But that was all from Bamford, who was forced off with what seemed like an ankle injury just 23 minutes into the match.
The former Chelsea striker chased down a long ball and immediately removed the tape from his wrist, sat down on the pitch, and pressed his ankle tightly.

This will come as a difficult moment in Bamford’s career, with the England forward only just making his return to the Leeds line-up following a hamstring injury.
Jesse Marsch was also forced to withdraw Diego Llorente and Mateusz Klich during the game due to injury.
This will come as a real cause for concern at Leeds, who had only just welcomed Bamford and Kalvin Phillips back into the first-team squad.
