Jesse Marsch’s biggest selection decision this week will depend on the fitness of Patrick Bamford. The striker left the field during Leeds United’s clash with Southampton at the weekend with a tight groin and it remains to be seen whether he will be fit enough to take on his former club Chelsea on Sunday.
As such, Marsch will be checking on his star striker’s health this week as he puts together a game plan for the Blues. However, the head coach will also be considering how best to use his new £21m winger Luis Sinisterra against Thomas Tuchel’s side this Sunday.
Leeds fans have hardly seen Sinisterra since his move from Feyenoord, with the Colombia international’s game time being severely limited by injury. Marsch had hoped to see more from him on the club’s pre-season tour of Australia, but instead the 23-year-old could only play bit-part roles against Brisbane Roar and Aston Villa.
