Jesse Marsch and Leeds United supporters will be holding their breath after Crysencio Summerville limped off the pitch against Elche. Any suggestion of a “friendly” fixture was rubbished seven minutes in due to a nasty collision.
Summerville - one of the standout performers for Leeds this season - was immediately withdrawn by Marsch. John Nwankwo, the Elche player he collided with, was also substituted shortly after the challenge.
The news is hardly ideal for the Whites as they prepare to stage their Premier League return. Summer signing Luis Sinisterra is already injured with a long-term injury, leaving Marsch short of options out wide.
