Leeds United Shift Focus to FA Cup as Farke Considers Rotation Against Norwich
Leeds United must set aside their Premier League relegation worries this weekend and turn their attention to the FA Cup, where they face Norwich City F.C. at Elland Road.

The tie carries added intrigue, with manager Daniel Farke going up against his former club.

The Whites’ journey in this season’s FA Cup has been mixed. They comfortably overcame Derby County 3‑1 at Pride Park in the third round, but were pushed to penalties by Birmingham City, eventually winning the shootout 5‑3. Heading into the fifth round, Leeds appear to have a mostly healthy squad.

Ahead of the match, Farke confirmed that summer signing Noah Okafor will miss his fourth consecutive game after not featuring in the last three Premier League matches. The Switzerland international is “not in team training yet,” and there’s no timetable for his return.

On a positive note, the rest of the squad is fit and available. Farke indicated that, barring any last-minute issues, he should be able to field “nearly a full squad” for the FA Cup clash. However, he hinted that rotation is likely given this is Leeds’ third match in a week, stressing the importance of managing player risk.

Potential Rotation: Buonanotte Could Feature
If Farke does rotate, American international Brenden Aaronson may be the player to make way.

While Aaronson plays a key role, his output this season has been modest, with just seven combined goals and assists.
This could provide an opportunity for Facundo Buonanotte.

The Argentine has had limited game time this season, featuring only 11 times across loan spells at Chelsea and Leeds, with just 69 minutes played under Farke. He has also missed four Premier League matchday squads.
Despite limited appearances, Buonanotte is highly regarded for his quality.

Former Leicester City F.C. manager Ruud van Nistelrooy described him as a player of “pure quality.” Last season at Leicester, he contributed nine goals and assists, and he has also scored five goals for parent club Brighton & Hove Albion F.C., including a memorable FA Cup strike in 2023/24.

Buonanotte’s underlying stats are promising for Leeds’ style of play: 0.3 goals per 90 minutes and 39.5% cross accuracy at Leicester, ideal for a side that operates high and wide.

A Potential Successor to Buendia
If given the chance, Buonanotte could emulate Farke’s former protégé, Emiliano Buendia. At Norwich, Buendia scored 24 goals and provided 41 assists in 121 appearances under Farke, enjoying immense success.
Both players share a similar profile:

Argentine attacking midfielders who thrive between the lines and can influence matches. Norwich, as Farke’s former club, would be the perfect stage for Buonanotte to showcase his potential and possibly become Farke’s new version of Buendia.
