Leeds winger Luis Sinisterra is predicted to be dominated out till after the World Cup winter break as a consequence of a uncommon foot damage.
The 23-year-old Colombia worldwide, who signed from Feyenoord in the summertime for a reported £21million, broken ligaments within the current house defeat to Fulham.
He missed final Saturday’s Premier League win at Liverpool and can sit out Saturday’s house sport towards Bournemouth.
Leeds head coach Jesse Marsch mentioned: “Luis Sinisterra has a foot injury that turns out to be more than what we originally thought it was.
“He wasn’t making the progress that we were hoping he could make over the last 10 days, so they did another scan and they had a specialist look at it and they started to worry about it being a Lisfranc injury.
“It’s a rare injury. It (the Lisfranc ligament) controls the movement of the metatarsals and when that is ruptured, it can be a long recovery.
“We don’t believe it’s ruptured, we believe it’s partially torn, which puts him in a little bit of a grey area, but probably out until after the World Cup break.”
Sinisterra has proved an enormous hit since arriving at Elland Road, scoring three targets to assist ease the frustration of former followers’ favorite Raphinha’s summer time departure to Barcelona.
Leeds’ shock win at Anfield final Saturday snapped an eight-game winless league run and lifted the strain barely on Marsch.
A piece of Whites followers had known as for the previous Salzburg and Leipzig boss to be sacked after his aspect slipped into the underside three.
They now sit fifteenth, one level away from the relegation zone, however Marsch is aware of victory towards Bournemouth is essential if his aspect is to keep up progress.
“Obviously it was a good win, but it’s kind of frustrating that we can perform like this in certain games and then we’ve let two many points slip away in others,” he added.
“We should be further up the table, further along in our process, but we’re not.
“There’s joy that we get a result like that, but also concern and frustration that we haven’t done more in other moments.
“This week there’s been real concentration on what’s necessary this weekend and our focus entirely is to build momentum.
“To do that we have to get a result and a win against Bournemouth.”
Marsch has no new damage worries, whereas teenage midfielder Archie Gray (toe) has returned to coaching. Stuart Dallas (fractured femur) and Adam Forshaw (ankle) are nonetheless out.
