Leeds United v Crystal Palace team news: Star back from injury as signing makes first start

Colombian international winger Sinisterra was introduced from the bench in the warm-up games Brisbane Roar and Aston Villa in Australia but now starts as Jesse Marsch's Whites sign off from their Down Under tour.

Whites captain Liam Cooper has been struggling with an Achilles issue and is still out so Robin Koch again partners Diego Llorente at the heart of the defence which is set to feature Pascal Struijk at left back.

Adam Forshaw also gets a start in midfield next to Tyler Adams as part of a side that again features Patrick Bamford upfront.

Sixteen-year-old young midfielder star Archie Gray returns to the bench just five days after being stretchered off during the second half of Sunday's clash against Villa following a heavy challenge to his ankle from John McGinn.

Joe Gelhardt, who recently took a slight knock, is on the bench but Cody Drameh has a slight hamstring issue and is out.

Luke Ayling, Stuart Dallas and Junior Firpo are longer term absentees through injuries.
