Sinisterra was compelled out of Tuesday’s 1-1 draw with Leicester simply previous the half-hour mark, shortly after he headed in Jack Harrison’s cross to offer his crew an early lead at Elland Road.
“It’s something in his ankle, a ligament,” supervisor Javi Gracia mentioned Friday.

“It’s tough for us to lose key players. I prefer to not complain. I have enough players to compete better and try to work with them,” Gracia mentioned.
Crysencio Summerville got here on for Sinisterra on Tuesday, however Gracia indicated 19-year-old winger Willy Gnonto could be in line for extra minutes at Vitality Stadium.
Leeds, on a four-game winless skid, is one level above the relegation zone.
