Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch says he's yet to decide regarding his striker in the FA Cup against Cardiff City.

The Elland Road club are facing a replay to see if they can book a spot in the fourth round.

Patrick Bamford was on target for Leeds against Aston Villa, but Rodrigo was also excellent in the game.

Asked about selections, Marsch said: "Patrick has been feeling good. We've had to be measured with him not to push him too much.

"I was very happy for him to get a goal and I told you guys last week, he seems to be, mentally, in a really good place and physically in a really good place. Whether he starts tomorrow or not, we'll wait and see.

"We have to address a lot of guys physically today. Rodri came out of the match - I thought Rodri was fantastic against Villa, fantastic in every phase of the match. One of the best performances I've ever had from a striker, especially considering he wasn't able to get the goal, but what a strong performance.

"He's obviously in great form so, we'll be looking to turn him around and get him ready for this match. Then we'll see how Patrick fits in."
