Leeds: £21m star’s actions ‘not needed’ at Elland Road

Leeds United winger Luis Sinisterra was ‘naïve’ to get sent off against Aston Villa on Sunday afternoon but he will have learned from his error, according to journalist Dean Jones.

“But the thing is, he is a game changer. He’s one of the players that’s going to define how
