Leeds United face Plymouth Argyle in the Emirates FA Cup this weekend, at Elland Road.

The Whites take on the Pilgrims in the Fourth Round stage in a second match-up of the season, having already played in West Yorkshire earlier this season.

Ahead of the game, Daniel Farke was asked about the fitness of his squad, after the win over Norwich City on Wednesday.

"We have a few players who will not be available for this game,” the manager explained.

“Archie Gray is definitely out for this game. I would still say good news because it is nothing with the ligament or the ACL just a hit and a bruise.

“But at the moment, it's not possible for him to join us in team training. Hopefully, at some point during next week, he will be back but he will definitely be out for this game.

“Also, Daniel James will be out. It's a little strain. I think he will also be out for the Bristol game, so a couple of weeks.

“I hope he is back available for the next home game but this FA Cup game and also the Bristol game he will definitely miss.

“We are also still without Pascal Struijk and all the other topics, so it's more or less what we spoke about."

On facing their opponents, the manager stated how seriously he takes cup competitions, and how focused the team are.

Farke said: “The first topic is that we take this game more than seriously.

“We are deep believers in a cup competition and cup runs. Whenever we represent Leeds United we want to be at our best and this is also an important game for us.

“We want to go through into the next round and that is definitely for sure. We still want to go with a strong starting XI because we want to go into the next round.

"We want to keep this run going and stay in our rhythm.”
