Leeds United winger Luis Sinisterra may find it hard to break back into Jesse Marsch’s side due to the form of Crysencio Summerville, according to Football Insider’s Kevin Campbell.
The Lowdown: Injury update
Summerville came in for his second start of the Premier League season against Liverpool on Saturday and netted a dramatic late winner to take the Whites out of the relegation zone. The youngster replaced Sinisterra in the starting XI, with the Colombian missing out due to injury.
Marsch admitted after the win against Liverpool that the latter should return to full training this week ahead of the meeting with Bournemouth, but Campbell thinks that the summer signing may not feature from the off against the Cherries.
The Latest: Campbell’s comments
Asked by Football Insider if Sinisterra may find it hard to break back into the Whites' team following the injury update and Summerville’s display at Anfield, Campbell - who contributes for Sky Sports - said:
“I really liked the look of him [Summerville]. He is non-stop and he is a handful. We saw that against Liverpool.
“I think Sinisterra is going to struggle to get back in on the evidence of that. It would only be right if he struggles to get back in.
“If someone is doing the business, no matter what their age, leave them alone. Let them get on with it, that is what I say.”

The Verdict: Selection headache
Providing that Sinisterra is fully fit for the Elland Road clash on Saturday, Marsch will have a big decision to make in the final third.
The Colombian was a marquee summer signing and has shown flashes of brilliance with goals against Everton and Brentford, but Summerville also now has two goals to his name in the top flight.
You’d expect that the Dutch youngster will be feeling at the top of his game after his match-winner at Anfield, so Marsch may decide to stick with him and look to use Sinisterra as an impact sub. The team sheet on Saturday will be interesting...
