That is not Black Sigatoka. It looks very superficial to me, just let the plant grow sort itself out. Sometime when transplanting a new sucker the first few are a bit odd as they can be damaged and stressed during the process as they are already starting to grow inside the plant. Let it grow 5-6 leaves at least and then see if the symptoms continue, then it could be some other issue that be more clear as the plant develops more.
