When Patrick Bamford will learn Euros fate as Leeds United striker considers England claims to Gareth Southgate
and live on Freeview channel 276
Whites no 9 Bamford will discover next week whether he has done enough to force his way into Gareth Southgate's England squad for this summer's delayed European Championships.
Southgate is set to name his final squad at 1pm on Tuesday lunchtime and Three Lions captain Harry Kane is the only English player to have outscored Bamford in this season's Premier League campaign.

Only Spurs striker Kane (22 goals), Liverpool forward Mo Salah (22), Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes (18) and Tottenham's Heung-Min Son (17) have netted more times than Bamford who has also weighed in with seven assists.
The Whites top scorer insists he could have even added to his tally but says he will have no complaints given the options available to Southgate whether or not he makes his final squad.
Asked if there was anything else he could have done to have been on Southgate's radar for the Euros, Bamford told LUTV: "Yeah, I could have scored more.
"You could always score more!
"But to be honest, we will see what happens.

"There's a lot of good English players and English strikers in the set up at the minute so I can't complain either way."
