Daniel Farke says Facundo Buonanotte's slow start since joining Leeds on loan was to be expected and has stressed the forward has been brought in to offer depth rather than immediate first-team impact. Farke explained: "This is the message I gave him from when he arrived - we haven't signed him to improve our 11 straight away. We let Jack Harrison go out on loan and Harry Gray out on loan. Farke says it is a good thing that Buonanotte has not immediately commanded a first-team place, as it would mean Leeds did not already own attackers of adequate calibre. If it works out - great, if not it's a loan for both sides, not a big risk.
