Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa refuses to be drawn into debate over whether Gareth Southgate should hand Patrick Bamford an England call-up after striker's recent goal glut

Marcelo Bielsa has refused to speculate on whether in-form striker Patrick Bamford should be considered for an England call-up.

Bamford has confounded his critics following Leeds' Premier League return, scoring six goals in as many games. Only Tottenham's Son Heung-min (eight) and Everton's Dominic Calvert-Lewin (seven) have scored more.

After scoring in each of Leeds' first three matches, Bamford fired a brilliant hat-trick in last week's 3-0 win at Aston Villa, but Bielsa has chosen not to join in the debate.

'The national team manager looks at all the players that can play in a certain position and he has the possibility to compare them all,' Bielsa said.
