Leeds boss Javi Gracia explained holding back Willy Gnonto for defeat at Fulham.
Gracia had stated before the game that the attack was ready to start.
He said after the loss in London: "I can tell you the same that I have to decide, I have to decide right about the players. All the players are, in my opinion, doing well and they deserve as well.
"Of course today Patrick Bamford and Luis Sinisterra, they couldn't train during all the week because they had some issues in the last game. We couldn't start with them because they didn't train and only some minutes. We have different players in different situations and we have to manage that.
"You asked me about Gnonto today. I have to answer you about that. But when some of you ask me about the players that don't play is bad signal for us because you always miss the players that don't play. Bad signal for us."
