Sinisterra returned from his summer break in Colombia on Monday and was back to work with the head of medicine and performance Rob Price and the medical team, as he progresses towards full fitness. The winger limped out of Leeds’ 1-1 draw with Leicester City at Elland Road in April with ankle ligament damage and two days later he was ruled out for the remainder of the relegation run-in. That issue was the last in a frustratingly long line for Sinisterra, who endured hamstring problems and a foot injury. The ankle damage came at the worst possible time, with Sinisterra having scored three goals in his last five games, threatening to hit his stride at the most crucial point of the season.

All in all his debut season for Leeds brought seven goals and one assist from 22 outings. News that Sinisterra has got himself back into condition to rejoin the team in training will come as a boost for fans who want to see more of the man signed for £21m from Feyenoord last summer. It’s possible that Daniel Farke will consider taking the winger to Oslo in midweek for the game against Manchester United if his ankle reacts well to the latest training efforts.

Both Jack Harrison and Tyler Adams have also been back at Thorp Arch but going through their paces individually as they rehab their own respective injuries. Harrison has been recovering from a hip problem and Adams suffered a slight setback with the hamstring that required season-ending surgery. The duo is expected back in full training in the later stages of pre-season. Leeds harbor hopes of retaining the pair, although transfer interest is almost inevitable prior to the close of the summer window in September.
