Leeds United will be without four players against Arsenal on Sunday, but Luis Sinisterra is back after his suspension.
Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch has confirmed a few absences from his squad to face Arsenal in their Premier League clash at the weekend.
Leo Hjelde has “recovered well from his appendectomy”, but he’s only just returning to the pitch, and he won’t be available for matches for another week. Adam Forshaw has also just undergone surgery.
Archie Gray is also back on the pitch today, but not available to face Arsenal, whilst Stuart Dallas is expected to return to the group in December.
But there’s also some good news for Leeds, with Luis Sinisterra returning from his one-game suspension.
Sinisterra had scored twice in two Premier League games before his red-card appearance against Aston Villa, and he’s Leeds’ second top scorer after Rodrigo.
The rest of Leeds’ starting lineup from their last game against Crystal Palace are all available, which was as follows: Meslier, Kristensen, Koch, Cooper, Struijk, Roca, Adams, Rodrigo, Aaronson, Harrison, Bamford.
Presumably, Leeds will name a similar side to that one with Sinisterra coming back in for one of the forwards.
Leeds sit 14th in the Premier League table with no wins in five games, but they’re unbeaten at Elland Road this season and they won 3-0 against Chelsea in August.
Arsenal would be wrong to underestimate Sunday’s opponents, but they should also be looking to collect all three points.
