Jesse Marsch is hopeful Luis Sinisterra will not be out for too long after sustaining a hamstring injury against Crystal Palace.
Leeds completed a deal reportedly worth £21.3million for former Feyenoord star Sinisterra earlier this month, in preparation for fellow winger Raphinha joining LaLiga giants Barcelona.
Having also lost key midfielder Kalvin Phillips to Manchester City, Leeds have been busy in the transfer market ahead of Marsch’s first full season at Elland Road, making six additions to their first-team squad.
Marsch would have feared the worst when Sinisterra pulled up off the ball after just 11 minutes of Friday’s match, in which Leeds drew 1-1 with Palace in Perth, but is now confident the winger’s injury is not serious.
“Luis had a little hamstring injury,” the American said. “We’re hopeful it’s not too long, too severe.
“Any time we have a hamstring injury I’m totally dissatisfied because I think it’s reflective of everything we do physically. Adam [Forshaw] tweaked his knee. We’re hopeful as well that one’s not so bad.”
Leeds start their 2022-23 Premier League campaign at home to Wolves on August 6.
