Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra were both on the scoresheet as Leeds picked up a thrilling win at Ipswich.
Daniel Farke had no hesitation in playing scoring duo Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra in Leeds' 4-3 win at Ipswich.
The pair have been missing for a fortnight; Gnonto after submitting a transfer request as he tried to force a way out of the club and Sinisterra as his own future remained unresolved.
Farke sidelined the pair and was firm when discussing them in the week, particularly on the subject of Italy international Gnonto who he said had apologised after refusing to play.
The duo came back into the side as Farke secured his maiden league win as Leeds boss, with first goals for Georginio Rutter and Joel Piroe on his debut ending Ipswich's perfect record.
"I wasn't too concerned about these two decisions (to pick Gnonto and Sinisterra) to be honest because I've watched them during the training week and they looked really, really sharp and disciplined and I had a really good feeling with this decision," Farke said.
"I was in general pleased with our offensive firepower, especially because we played a side who just conceded one goal over their first four games.
"It's a difficult place to come here, they played full of confidence and excited the home fans in the stadium and for us then to dig in and to grind out a result and to score four times is really, really good and especially the offensive play on the scoresheet.
"I am pleased for my offensive players that they showed real quality today and also clinical finishes and it's good for the mood, good for the confidence, good for the table, good for them also to be off the mark in terms of goals and I am happy with this."
