Daniel Farke has remained coy on Luis Sinisterra’s situation after he was unavailable for Leeds United’s away trip to Birmingham City today.
Leeds have not made a good start to life back in the Championship and have picked up just a point from their opening two league games.
Problems are mounting off the field as well as Leeds are running the risk of losing key players before the end of the transfer window.
Willy Gnonto has more or less gone on strike to push through a move and even Sinisterra was not available for today’s game under dubious circumstances.
There are claims that the winger is also agitating for a transfer but Farke remained coy on his situation and refused to elaborate on what is exactly going on behind the scenes with Sinisterra.
The Leeds boss said in a press conference when asked about the player: “He was not available.
“There will be a time when we talk about this situation. I don’t explain more.”
It remains to be seen whether Leeds manage to hold on to Sinisterra beyond the 1st September transfer deadline.

He Wants To – Leeds United Boss Daniel Farke Makes Helder Costa Admission
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke has confirmed that winger Helder Costa wants to leave the club.
Costa has been away from Leeds at Valencia and Al Ittihad on loan over the last two seasons, but returned to the club earlier this summer.
It was thought the winger could be involved as Leeds begin their Championship campaign, but he was not in the mix for the loss at Birmingham City on Saturday.
And the winger looks like being on his way out, with Farke confirming that Costa is keen to leave Elland Road this summer.
The German manager told his press-conference after the Birmingham game: “Quite open with Helder he wants to leave the club.”
Farke is willing to now trust those above him at Leeds to bring in the reinforcements needed in what remains of the summer transfer window.
“There’s confidence. I totally believe in the quality of our people”, he said.
“Sometimes it’s a bit difficult. We can’t make ourselves a different reality. But it’s about staying calm, not to panic.”
Leeds did make a signing within the last few days, with defender Joe Rodon arriving at the club on loan from Tottenham Hotspur.
