Luis Sinisterra is now ready to stand out for Leeds United following a successful international break with Colombia. The winger scored three times in his country's two friendly matches - a goal against Guatemala last week and then a brace against Mexico.
Colombia were trailing 2-0, but two goals from Sinisterra in quick succession saw his side draw level before Wilmer Barrios' goal gave the Cafeteros a 3-2 win. It's been a welcome watch for Leeds United supporters who have had to bide their time to see the summer arrival in action.
An injury in pre-season meant Sinsiterra has had to wait to get a taste of Premier League football, but has scored three goals and notched one assist since being handed his debut by Jesse Marsch.

Speaking to Semana, Sinisterra said: "I wanted to take advantage of the small opportunities that life gives. Enter the field with the best attitude and help the team.
"I always try to stand out at my club to come to the national team and I have had good performances and that’s why I’m here. I want to thank the teacher for the opportunity, I’m hungry to continue contributing to the Colombian national team.”
Sinisterra will now travel back to Elland Road as the Whites prepare to face Aston Villa this weekend.
