Missing with hamstring injury

Bounanotte is out for Monday's match against Tottenham due to a hamstring injury, according to Stuart Rayner of the Yorkshire Post.

Analysis: Bounanotte is missing Monday after he suffered an injury over the weekend, with the attacker picking up a hamstring injury. Luckily for the club, this is a minor loss in the grand scheme, only appearing twice off the bench all season for the club since joining. However, it will leave him with only one match left to play this season, as he will be ineligible next contest when facing his parent club, Brighton.

Loaned to Leeds United

Buonanotte has joined Leeds United on loan from Brighton for the remainder of the season, according to his new club.

Analysis: Buonanotte is going to remain in the Premier League but is away from Brighton for the rest of the season, joining Leeds. This comes after he ended his loan with Chelsea for the first half of the season, appearing eight times for the club but mainly in cup play, with only one league appearance all season. He does show decent promise after seven goal contributions in 31 appearances (14 starts) in the 2024/25 season with Leicester City, potentially a solid addition on the flanks for Leeds.
