Leeds United boss issues Luis Sinisterra injury update and mulls team training changes 'problem' - YEP 31/10/22

-


Jesse Marsch has provided an injury update on the condition of Colombian winger Luis Sinisterra whom the Leeds United boss hopes to have back on the pitch this week.

By Lee Sobot

Sinisterra was one of five injury doubts for Saturday night's Premier League clash at Liverpool along with Tyler Adams, Joe Gelhardt, Rodrigo and captain Liam Cooper but the latter quartet all made the matchday squad. Adams, Cooper and Rodrigo all started as Marsch's side ended a run of eight games without a win through a thrilling 2-1 victory in which Gelhardt was an unused substitute. The triumph hauled United out of the drop zone into 15th place and Marsch was optimistic of receiving another boost in the aftermath of the Reds win through the return of Sinisterra following a foot injury.

"We hope that he will be in training this week," said Marsch after Saturday night’s win at Anfield. "We hope that it's not too bad. It's a little sprain in his foot. He was still pretty sore yesterday (Friday) but the swelling has gone down each day and hopefully we can get him on the pitch this week."

Marsch also revealed that he was facing problematic decisions on the way that Leeds train this week in the approach to next weekend’s hosting of Bournemouth having made alterations ahead of the Saturday night trip to Anfield. Leeds approached the Liverpool date having taken just two points from a last possible 24 and Marsch was keen to mix matters up in a bid to change United's fortunes.

"We tried to change some things," said United's American head coach. "A little bit of everything. Nobody wants to go to the same routine all the time and whether it was set piece preparation or with video or with what the training week is and the emphasis is, I’ve got to figure out which things to keep. I'm not superstitious at all, but I started changing everything up but the problem is now I don't know what to keep and what to change back."

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity. Beginning next month, Leeds supporters' personalised stones will be replaced with exact replicas, courtesy of a new company, to ensure of a 'much better quality' installation. The work is expected to take around two months to complete. An official club statement confirmed 'three larger stones dedicated to former managers Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson and Marcelo Bielsa' will also be installed, 'similar to those located in Bremner Square', while additional space for supporters to purchase new stones has also been factored into the project. “The club have taken on board recent feedback from supporters on the stones at Centenary Square, and we are really happy that we can now announce that all of the stones will be replaced," chief executive Angus Kinnear confirmed,...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
