Daniel Farke has confirmed Luis Sinisterra and Wilfried Gnonto will be in the squad for Leeds United’s trip to Ipswich Town.
Farke was speaking in his pre-match press conference ahead of the game, with the future of Sinisterra and Gnonto hot topics.
Phil Hay reported earlier this week that Gnonto had returned to training with the Whites after holding showdown talks with both Farke and Angus Kinnear.
The 19-year-old had handed in a transfer request after refusing to play in matches against Shrewsbury Town and Birmingham City.
Sinisterra, meanwhile, has also been absent for Leeds‘ last two matches, with Farke declaring him unavailable as they clarified some legal issues in his deal.
Farke says Gnonto and Sinisterra to play against Ipswich
However, ahead of this week’s trip to Ipswich Town, Farke has confirmed Leeds will be boosted by the inclusion of the two wingers.
He said: “Yes, he [Gnonto] is back and with Luis Sinisterra and Leo Hjelde. The situation [with Sinisterra] is sorted, we have clarity about his contractual situation. I had a good chat with him and he’s in a much better place.”
This will represent a huge boost to Leeds’ squad given how threadbare Farke’s options have been in attack in the last few weeks.
Of course, both players still have plenty of work to do to rebuild the bridges that have been burnt in recent weeks.
However, there is no doubt the talent both possess and given the form Ipswich are in, they are both back at the perfect time.
