Javi Gracia delivers Leeds United injury hammer blow as key man ruled out for rest of season

Leeds United winger Luis Sinisterra has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury. Sinisterra opened the scoring in the 1-1 draw against Leicester City on Tuesday night but hobbled off with an ankle injury shortly after.

The Colombian has been plagued by injuries during his debut season at Elland Road, and Javi Gracia has confirmed he won't be available for the final five games.

"Luis is out for the rest of the season," Gracia said. "No I don't think so [a repeat of his previous injury], it's something in his ankle, in the ligament."

Max Wober was forced to miss the Leicester game after suffering a hamstring issue on his comeback from injury against Fulham last weekend.

Gracia has revealed that Wober has not trained this week, and is a doubt for the Bournemouth game.

"In this moment, he's not training with the team. We'll see tomorrow if he can help us or not, but now he's not training with the team," Gracia added.

Tyler Adams and Stuart Dallas will remain unavailable for Leeds. Adams sustained a hamstring injury in March and has missed the last seven games after undergoing surgery. Dallas has been sidelined for over a year after breaking his leg against Manchester City in April 2022.
