Leeds United boss issues Luis Sinisterra injury update and mulls team training changes 'problem'

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."
