Leeds United dealt fresh blow ahead of Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park

Leeds United are set to be without Luis Sinisterra for the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace after his red card against Aston Villa.

Jesse Marsch's Leeds side will make the trip to south London to face Patrick Vieira's Eagles at Selhurst Park next Sunday, with the Yorkshire side currently three points and five places above Palace after a goalless draw against Aston Villa at Elland Road.

But Leeds were dealt a significant blow in the game against Villa as Colombian forward Sinisterra was sent off early in the second half as he was shown a second yellow card by referee Stuart Attwell for failing to retreat after Leeds conceded a free-kick.

As such, he is set to serve a one-match suspension which means he will now miss the game against Palace. That is a setback for Leeds, with Sinisterra a man in form for Marsch's side.

In recent weeks, the 23-year-old has scored three goals for Leeds, including in the Carabao Cup against Barnsley and against both Everton and Brentford in the Premier League.

He has also been in form for his country too, with Sinisterra netting in a 4-1 win for Colombia against Guatemala and two goals in a 3-2 success against Mexico in international friendlies.
