Leeds United will turn their attention to the FA Cup as they gear up to take on Norwich City on Sunday afternoon.

Daniel Farke’s side remain in the hat after beating Birmingham City on penalties in the previous stage, and they will be the favourites to progress at the expense of the Canaries.

Farke, however, will not be on the touchline against his former club due to a touchline ban.

Worryingly, the Whites have been dragged to within just three points of the Premier League relegation zone, so domestic cup action represents a welcome respite.

MOT Leeds News rounds up all of the biggest headlines at Elland Road – including the latest injury news ahead of the next match – over the past 24 hours.

Injury and suspension latest as 15 players could miss out in Leeds United vs Norwich City

A number of players will be missing for both clubs, but Leeds are in a far stronger position than Norwich.

Farke will likely rotate his starting XI, but he will not be able to call on Noah Okafor, who was forced off during the dramatic victory at St Andrew’s on February 15.

The Swiss international, though, is the only absentee for the hosts and is expected to make his return later in March due to his niggling thigh injury.

As for the Championship opponents, a whopping 14 players are set to be ruled out.

Largie Ramazani headache awaits amid Leeds demands for winger

Largie Ramazani has enjoyed a timely career resurgence on loan at Valencia in LaLiga.

The forward was shipped out by Leeds last summer, having failed to sufficiently impress Farke, and he has certainly caught the eye after a stop-start to the campaign.

After netting in his last three top-flight matches, he could stay at the Mestalla permanently, but there are numerous stumbling blocks any deal for Ramazani.

According to reports in Spain, his wages and Leeds’ uncertain stance over selling him to scupper the move, which could force him to stay in Yorkshire.

Daniel Farke’s touchline ban at Leeds ‘sends message’ – Keith Hackett

Farke was hit with a one-match ban for storming onto the field after the defeat by Manchester City on February 28.

A host of decisions went against the Whites at Elland Road, and their manager responded by furiously confronting the officials on the pitch following the final whistle.

He was shown a red card and has since admitted the charge, resulting in the touchline suspension for the FA Cup showdown against Norwich and an £8,000 fine.

Remarkably, it was Farke’s first sending-off in his 16-year managerial career.

Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, former PGMOL chief Keith Hackett said Farke’s ban was deserved and helps to send out a message.
