Light has emerged at the end of the injury tunnel for Luis Sinisterra as Leeds United plot their star forward’s return to action. The 23-year-old has been missing for more than 10 weeks with a Lisfranc injury, but could at long last be over the final hurdle.
Sinisterra’s glut of goals for club and county between late August and late September boosted his importance to Elland Road. The Colombia international had the makings of the club’s next talisman in Raphinha’s absence, but fitness has been his biggest problem.
A pre-season injury kept him out of the starting line-up for the first four league games of the season. A full league debut at home to Everton would be followed by five starts out of six (suspension denied him the other), but injury would strike again and Sinisterra has been missed.
