Leeds United chief Javi Gracia likes to keep his cards close to his chest when it comes to team news. That has been made abundantly clear during his first few weeks in charge at Elland Road, making it hard to predict the squad of players he will be working with from game to game.
However, he did let slip that both Luis Sinisterra and Rodrigo have been training this week and if they are considered to be ready they could be involved against Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon. The pair have been missed and they will have big roles to play for Leeds over the fine few months of the Premier League campaign.
Late calls will be made on both Sinisterra and Rodrigo but it seems unlikely that Gracia will risk throwing either of them straight back into the starting XI this weekend, given the nature of their respective injuries. The head coach wasn’t quite as clear on Patrick Bamford, but he is expected to return to action this week after missing the trip to Chelsea with a minor leg knock.
