Whether Brenden Aaronson plays or is rested, each option carries an element of risk
Daniel Farke's insistence that he has many options he would trust at number 10 behind Brenden Aaronson may be put to the test this weekend.
Leeds United were open to bringing in a number 10 option during the winter transfer window, but only if he met the strict criteria of being affordable, the required quality and a great character. Farke has indicated that several options were looked at but none ticked “all the boxes”. The boss has previously outlined how he believes Manor Solomon, Wilfried Gnonto and even Joel Piroe can play at number 10, albeit said each would “interpret” the role slightly differently to one another.
Farke had been asked whether he sees Solomon as his go-to replacement for Aaronson in the role but failed to concretely confirm so, stating that the Israeli’s showing against Harrogate should not be read into that much given the strength of the opposition. “What you can’t predict is there is always the possibility of booking suspensions… but also the possibility of injury. You can never guarantee .”
Sunderland visit Elland Road on February 17 before Leeds travel to Sheffield United on February 24. The Whites will need Aaronson on top form and fitness for those matches.
