After his red card against Aston Villa, Leeds United's in-form winger Luis Sinisterra will be sidelined for the club's next clash.
ON a day when referee Stuart Attwell found himself at the centre of attention against Aston Villa, the Colombian was shown his first yellow card after a clumsy challenge on Aston Villa captain John McGinn after 26 minutes saw him receive the Whites' first booking of the afternoon.
It was only three minutes after halftime when Sinisterra was sent off after sticking out his foot and blocking a quick attempt to take a free kick after he had fouled Villa defender Jacob Ramsey.

The dismissal means that Sinisterra will be missing Leeds' next match against Crystal Palace who lost 2-1 to Chelsea this weekend, as the yellow cards mean an automatic one-match ban.
Fortunately for Marsch, there are no other Leeds players currently walking the disciplinary tightrope. Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison, Marc Roca, Rasmus Kristensen and Tyler Adams are all on two yellow cards across this season, meaning no players are close to the five yellow card point that would see them suspended before the season's 19-match cut-off.
