Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch says Liam Cooper is a doubt to face Cardiff City after picking up a knee injury during a warm-up session yesterday. The centre-half has featured 12 times for the Whites in the Premier League so far this season and is a key part in the defensive unit at Elland Road.
The Whites will also be without Adam Forshaw, Crycensio Summerville, Stuart Dallas and Archie Gray who have been ruled out of the FA Cup Third Round replay with Cardiff. However, Marsch will be buoyed by the return of Luis Sinisterra after a lengthy lay-off with injury.
The Colombian international was one of the men tipped to help transform Leeds United's fortunes after a disappointing campaign and has shown in patches, what he's capable of. Nonetheless, injuries have limited his game time at Elland Road this season, playing just 10 competitive games for Marsch's side this season.

Marsch told reporters: "I'll start with injuries. Adam [Forshaw], Cree [Summerville], Stuart [Dallas] and Archie [Gray] will be out for this match. The other one that's very questionable slash doubtful is Coops.
"In the warm-up yesterday he sustained a little bit of a strange knee injury so, with him, it'll probably be a decision for tomorrow. But, I would guess it might be a little bit difficult for him.
"Luis Sinisterra trained yesterday and he has the potential to be in the squad. We'll evaluate that today and see what the possibilities are, but he looked fantastic and we're excited to have him back."
