Leeds United news as Feyenoord announce Luis Sinisterra special return and supporters criticised

Here are your latest Leeds United evening headlines for Wednesday, November 2.

Luis Sinisterra set to attend farewell ceremony at former club Feyenoord

Leeds winger Luis Sinisterra is due to attend an official farewell ceremony at his former club Feyenoord. The ceremony is scheduled to take place on Sunday, November 13, a day after the final game at Tottenham Hotspur before the break for the 2022 World Cup.

The 23-year-old left Feyenoord for Leeds for a reported fee of £21 million in the summer. He notched 35 goals and 29 assists in 113 appearances for the Dutch heavyweights and finished runner-up in the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.

Feyenoord have announced on their Instagram account that the event will be held to honour Sinisterra and his former teammate Marco Senesi, who joined fellow Premier League outfit AFC Bournemouth in August.

Sinisterra scored in back-to-back games against Everton and Brentford in August and September respectively but hasn’t found the net in any of his last four appearances. He was sent off in the goalless draw at home to Aston Villa at the start of October, and was sidelined for the recent 2-1 win at Liverpool after suffering a knock to his ankle.

Chris Sutton's swipe at Leeds United fans for 'short memories' after Jesse Marsch speculation

Chris Sutton believes that Leeds United supporters have 'short memories' following the Whites' 2-1 win at Liverpool on Saturday. Leeds ended their eight-match winless run in the Premier League against the Reds thanks to Crysencio Summerville's 89th-minute winner.

Pressure had been building on Jesse Marsch in the days leading up to the trip to Anfield, with supporters not afraid to voice their displeasure in either of the defeats to Leicester City and Fulham. Despite all the outside noise, the board opted to stick with the American which ultimately paid dividends in what was a historic win.

Speaking on BBC 5Live's Monday Night Club, Sutton admitted he is unsure whether it is the result that has preserved his job, but criticised Leeds supporters for turning on him so quickly after guiding them to survival last season.
