Daniel Farke has confirmed Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra are no longer part of his dressing room as they continue to push for transfers away from the club. The forward pair arrived in Yorkshire last summer and were part of the Whites' squad that was relegated from the Premier League last season.

He said on Sinisterra: "For that he was not available for the last game. Until everything is clear, he won't train with the group because his mind can't concentrate fully on football."
When quizzed on whether a legal, contractual issue was affecting his handling of Sinisterra, Farke added: "Nobody tells me who I should not pick. I am in charge of every sporting decision or I would not be here.
"Names, salaries, fees are not important. It's totally up to me. With a legal issue, it has to be sorted before. Nobody had to tell me."
Gnonto told Leeds he was not available for last weekend's trip to Birmingham and was therefore not included in the squad.
Leeds continue to reiterate that he won't be sold even if he remains exiled from the club's squad.
The Whites have already sold a number of key players from last season and are reluctant to continue weakening their squad.
When asked if things can improve in the market, Farke added: "Yes, 100 per cent. It's not easy but we were fully aware that we would have more clarity as August went by and we'd have to make late decisions. I'm confident we'll have good solutions."
Leeds are also set to lose Jack Harrison who is due to complete a move to Everton imminently despite late interest from Aston Villa.
Tyler Adams is also training with Leeds again after his move to Chelsea collapsed.
Adams even travelled to London to complete a medical before the Blues pulled out of the running to focus on Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia.
Bournemouth are now looking to sign the USMNT international midfielder for £20m due to a relegation clause in his contract.
Leeds have only made four summer signings so far in the form of Ethan Ampadu, Karl Darlow, Sam Byram and Joe Rodon (loan).
