If all goes to plan, Leeds United could welcome Luis Sinisterra back to full training by the end of this week. That’s according to head coach Jesse Marsch, who was asked about the club’s fitness situation following the 2-2 draw with Cardiff City on Sunday and will have his fingers crossed that the winger takes the next step in his recovery without a hitch.
Sinisterra’s time in a Leeds shirt so far has been a tale of frustration. Injury and suspension have limited him to just nine Premier League appearances for the Whites and he hasn’t been seen since the club’s loss to Fulham in October due to a foot issue.
It was hoped that his time on the sidelines would be minimal, but Marsch revealed Lisfranc concerns in the build-up to the World Cup break and ruled him out until the New Year. After more than two months in the treatment room, though, Sinisterra’s arduous rehabilitation process is coming to an end.
