The expectation surrounding Luis Sinisterra was always going to be high. The Colombia international was seen as the man chosen to replace the outgoing Raphinha last summer and his performances at the start of the season were enough to get Leeds United fans very excited about what was to come.
Sinisterra bagged three goals in all competitions inside the first month of the season, with efforts coming against Barnsley, Everton and Brentford and he terrorised Arsenal in a fine display against the Gunners at Elland Road in October. However, the 23-year-old has been unable to showcase his talents to the Elland Road crowd on a consistent basis with injuries well and truly blighting his first season in the Premier League.
Two hamstring complaints and a Lisfranc issue have restricted him to just eight league starts for the Whites so far and just one of those has come since October. As such, it’s been a season of real frustration for both the winger and those fans who had him earmarked as the man to help push the Whites up the table as the season progressed.
