Will miss multiple games Llorente suffered a biceps femoris strain in his left thigh, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Llorente will be out for two-to-three weeks, leaving the defense very short-handed since Chis Smalling is dealing with a similar problem.

Low-activity transfer window in Italy limps to an end

A quiet deadline day in Italy has brought to an end a winter transfer period that saw the lowest spending by Serie A clubs in almost two decades

JANUARY 31, 2023 • Associated Press

Transfers to Roma Llorente has moved to Roma on a season-long loan with option to buy, the Serie A site informs.

Impact Llorente started the first six Premier League matches of the season but featured just twice in just two in the ensuing 13. He'll come in with a backup role at his new club, which isn't particularly deep in the back. He has tailed 13 tackles, 15 interceptions, 24 clearances, and two blocks in eight games.

JANUARY 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Llorente (hand) is on the bench for Wednesday's clash with Manchester City.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Inks extension through 2026 Llorente has signed an extension with Leeds through the Summer of 2026, the club announced Friday.

Impact Llorente opened the 2022/23 season as a nailed-on starter but went as an unused sub in seven of the final eight matches before the World Cup break. The center-back has shown the ability to earn major playing time, and has scored four times during his three seasons with Leeds.

DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Has minor hand procedure Llorente had a successful medical procedure on his hand and will be back in approximately two weeks, according to coach Jesse Marsch and Leeds reports.

Impact Marsch added that: "Diego's hand: he had successful surgery and they say two weeks after the surgery he can start participating in training so that shouldn't last too long. For the most part we should [...] get most of the guys back in training before [...] Man City." The hand situation is a rather new issue for Llorente, but it doesn't sound overly serious. Leeds supporters will be keen to hear that most of the squad's injuries should clear up before league play returns on 28 December at home against City.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting regularly this season Llorente has played every minute of Leeds' Premier League campaign heading into the September international break.

Impact Llorente and Leeds haven't played since Sept. 3, but he's been in the XI for all six of their matches so far this season in central defense. He has kept just one clean sheet thus far as the club sits 11th in the table.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starts all 28 appearances Llorente started all 28 of his matches for the club in which he generated three goals on 10 shots (three on target), 75 clearances and 53 tackles.

Impact While Llorente should feature prominently in the starting XI for the club next season, he shouldn't be expected to offer much in the way of offensive production. As such the defender is unlikely to offer more than mid-range fantasy value, which will primarily come from defensive stats.
