Leeds United ace Luis Sinisterra may require surgery due to ankle ligament damage – Injury Expert
We’re delighted to welcome injury expert Dr Rajpal Brar as our exclusive columnist. Each week he’ll be giving his views on the injury situation at Leeds United...
Leeds United attacker Luis Sinisterra has been ruled out for the rest of the season due to ligament damage to his ankle, claims Dr Rajpal Brar.
The injury expert believes that such injuries can require surgery as well, but he’s not heard anything definitive as to whether or not the Colombian’s situation will need it.
It’s also premature to make any assessments about whether or not he’ll be back in time for pre-season but is not going to be back in May.
Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and Sports Scientist, said on Sinisterra,
“Based on comments from Javi Gracia, Sinisterra has suffered ligament damage to his ankle.
“He may still require surgery but I haven’t heard anything on that front.
“His timeline would depend on that plan of care so it’s hard to say if it will impact his pre-season or not.“
The 23-year-old has had an injury-ravaged first season at Elland Road and has struggled to make an impact for the first team.
He has been a goal threat whenever he’s on the pitch and has chipped in with five goals from 13 Premier League starts, making six more appearances off the bench.
His last goal actually came in his last appearance as he found the back of the net in the 1-1 draw against Leicester on 25 April.
