Javi Gracia will have his fingers crossed that Luis Sinisterra recovers quickly from the knock he suffered on Tuesday night against Leicester City. Sinisterra was Leeds United’s only goalscorer on the night, putting the Whites ahead with a well-timed header in the 20th minute of the contest at Elland Road.
However, his evening was brought to a premature end just a few minutes later after being left on the ground by a heavy challenge. The winger tried to continue after receiving treatment, but he hit the deck once more in the 32nd minute before leaving the field in uncomfortable fashion, to be replaced by Crysencio Summerville.
Gracia was unable to provide a clear update on the issue after the game, insisting the medical staff will need to make further assessments before a conclusion can be reached on the Colombian’s fitness. The Spanish head coach did criticise referee Paul Tierney, though, for failing to act after the initial challenge.
