(Reuters) - Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is set to miss at least six weeks of action due to a foot injury that forced him off against Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier this month, the Premier League club said on Sunday.

The 28-year-old, who was substituted after 23 minutes in the 3-2 win against Wolves on March 18, has featured in only nine league games this season due to ankle and hamstring problems.
