Farke on Buonanotte, Okafor pressure and 'Rolls Royce' Ampadu

There is "a little question mark" over Gabi Gudmundsson, who missed training on Thursday with an adductor issue. Anton Stach could be available, while Dan James is "pretty, pretty close". Both have been "part integrated" into team training with no problems, though it may take time for the latter to get up to speed having been out for two months.

Jaka Bijol is improving and could be back in team training in two to three weeks.

On David Moyes' Everton: "You always see his handwriting on his teams. A really good team spirit and togetherness, very compact against the ball. It is never easy to open one of David's teams and create chances."

Regarding January business, Farke is keen to "keep the group tight" unless the right opportunity comes along: "We'll be awake to give ourselves the best possible squad for the run-in, but we will only do something if we are 100% convinced that it is the right player."

On having an edge when you don't have the league's best players: "You need a good spirit - particularly when you don't have the best individual quality in the league. We prove this on a daily basis. As a newly-promoted side, we have to go over the line on our physical output."

On Facundo Buonanotte: "I'm not tempted to praise him too much otherwise he will think he is already Lionel Messi. I back him, he gets lots of trust, he will feel our support, belief, love - but it's up to him to prove that he can earn his spot, his minutes."

On the psychological benefit of the survival gap: "We always play with freedom but this doesn't take the pressure away at any point. It's not a free hit playing away or against big teams - we want to win every game."

On scoring freely: "It's proof of our DNA, that we will never be happy just to park the bus. We always want to be the protagonist and be proactive and score goals, home or away."

On Jack Harrison and the potential for more loan departures: "If a player is as professional as Jack, I'm open to listen to him. If a player tries to provoke something by being difficult, I will never sanction a loan."

He highlighted how Noah Okafor deserved "95%" of the credit for Dominic Calvert-Lewin's goal against Chelsea: "There is space for improvement [for Okafor]. He has to deliver otherwise there are others in the squad."

On Ethan Ampadu: "He is the glue between offence and defence, a role model who embodies what Leeds is about. His performances are more or less Rolls Royce performances over the last couple of years. Long may it continue."

On Lucas Perri's chance of reclaiming his spot: "There is always room for improvement, but the major stuff was spot on [by Karl Darlow, who got a clean sheet against Fulham] and for that, there is no need to question him at all."
