Leeds United press conference live: Jesse Marsch provides Patrick Bamford and team news update

He created a lot of firsts for American players, so we’re grateful to him

Marsch on Chelsea’s defence

Their back line now with Koulibaly and Cucurella - intelligence, experience, quality, athleticism, what a formidable defence and then a great goalkeeper behind them. We will try to press them in the right moments, we’re not gonna sit back. With the ball we’re gonna be brave and want to challenge them. They’re also good with set-pieces - we saw with Koulibaly, he’s a beast

Marsch on Cody Drameh

Cody has been fantastic, he’s trained really well, he’s fit and ready to go, I thought he played well in the 21s match [vs Norwich]
