Impact Llorente had another rock-solid performance at the heart of the defense for Leeds, posting team highs in clearances and keeping opposing strikers at bay during the entire contest. With 11 tackles, 15 clearances and four interceptions over his last two outings, the centre back will need to be at his best during Apr. 17 home clash against Chelsea.

Busy defensively Llorente made six tackles and eight clearances during Saturday's 1-1 draw with Southampton.

Impact Llorente was busy behind the ball once again as Southampton controlled the match for the most part. Some excellent play from Llorente kept the match even and his plethora of defensive counting stats were solid for fantasy managers. Llorente will likely have less to do away against Watford next time out.

Available versus Southampton Llorente (back) has resumed training and will be in contention against Southampton on Saturday.

Impact Llorente has featured in all 21 of his appearances for the club this season in which he has recorded two goals on six shots (two on target), 52 clearances and 29 interceptions. While the defender's primary value comes in the form of defensive stats, he should be a target in the box and could offer decent mid-range fantasy value.

Impact Llorente was just one of four injury subs during the first half of Friday's game, and he was replaced by Robin Koch. He'll have some time to recover during the international break before Leeds' next game against Southampton in early April.

Training ahead of Villa match Llorente (undisclosed) is training and close to 100 percent ahead of Thursday's match against Aston Villa, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact Llorente could move back into the starting XI Thursday, assuming he's fit and that Marsch prefers him on the back line. Given some injuries, it's still unknown who Marsch prefers in his squad, but Llorente figures to be one of the regulars when healthy.

Will miss Leicester game Llorente did not make Leeds' game-day squad list for Saturday's match versus Leicester.

Impact Llorente has not been able to practice this week due to an undisclosed injury and will sit out this one, forcing Leeds to rely on their other options in the back.

MARCH 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doubt to face Leicester Llorente didn't train Thursday and is a doubt for Saturday's trip to Leicester City, according to manager Jesse Marsch.

Impact It's not a positive sign for Llorente, who missed a match two weeks ago with an undisclosed injury. Given the new manager, not training definitely doesn't help Llorente's chances of starting in Marsch's first match.

MARCH 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Gets nod against Tottenham Llorente (undisclosed) is starting in Saturday's game versus Tottenham.

Impact Llorente will make a quick return to the XI after missing one game. He has tallied one goal, five tackles, seven interceptions and nine clearances in the last four matches.

Good for Saturday Llorente (undisclosed) is available for Saturday's match against Tottenham, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Llorente is available after missing the midweek contest with an unknown issue. It's likely he'll be back in the starting XI after Leeds gave up six goals in his absence. The question is who starts around him, as Robin Koch is available again, as well.

Out against Liverpool Llorente (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Wednesday's match against Liverpool.

Impact Llorente was forced off at the break in the loss to Man United over the weekend and he failed to recover for Wednesday's match. In his place, Luke Ayling is starting at center-back with Stuart Dallas and Junior Firpo at full-back, a new set of defenders against one of the best attacks in the league.

FEBRUARY 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in 3-3 draw Llorente scored on two shots (one on target) and added three clearances and 60 passes completed in Wednesday's 3-3 draw to Aston Villa.

Impact Llorente bagged his first goal since early October and only second of the season. The defender though hasn't been much involved offensively in the mean time and might not go on a scoring spree here. He's produced some decent defensive numbers but Leeds haven't had a clean sheet in eight straight matches now.

Eligible against Newcastle Llorente served his suspension and is eligible for Saturday's match against Newcastle.

Impact Llorente should be back in the XI Saturday unless Marcelo Bielsa prefers to take a different route. Leeds are still on the edge of having a limited bench, as Leo Hjelde was forced to come on for Junior Firpo last match. It's expected Llorente will be back in the XI next to Pascal Struijk at center-back.

Suspended against West Ham Llorente picked up his fifth yellow card of the season against Burnley and is suspended for the Jan. 16 trip to West Ham.

Impact Llorente has started 11 of the last 12 matches, so his absence will be felt in a difficult trip. Leeds finally had enough defenders last match, but this suspension could make things difficult to form a preferred XI, though at least the recent return of Robin Koch helps.

Starting Sunday Llorente is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match with Burnley.

Impact Llorente returns after missing time due to an undisclosed injury. The defender will be a part of the Leeds back line for Sunday's Premier League clash with Burnley.

JANUARY 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returns Sunday Llorente (undisclosed) is available for Sunday's clash with Burnley, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Llorente is available to play during Sunday's clash as he continues to recover. The defender should slot straight back into the starting XI with a massive amount of injuries wreaking havoc in the Leeds team. Llorente will likely see Cody Drameh back to the bench.

DECEMBER 31, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not in squad Saturday Llorente is not in the squad for Saturday's match against Arsenal for undisclosed reasons.

Impact Llorente is a surprise absence Saturday, which forced Leeds to move youngster Cody Drameh into the starting XI. Llorente had started every match since September, so his absence is unexpected and there's a chance he's one of many players who tested positive for COVID-19.

Scores goal against Watford Llorente scored a goal and won two of two tackles in Saturday's 1-0 victory against Watford. He also made two clearances and an interception in the match.

Impact Llorente was the difference maker on Saturday, his return to the pitch after missing two games with a hamstring injury. He has another few weeks to finish recovering during the upcoming international break before taking on Southampton, which have scored just five goals in seven Premier League matches this season, on Oct. 16.

Back in starting XI Llorente (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Watford.

Impact Llorente gets the immediate start Saturday after missing the last two matches with a hamstring injury. The hope is that he doesn't pick up another muscular issue, as he's dealt with a variety of them since joining Leeds a year ago. That said, he's starting, so the thought is that he's fit enough to go 90.

Available against Watford Llorente (hamstring) is available for Saturday's match against Watford, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Llorente is available, but he's missed the last two matches with a hamstring injury, so it's hard to see him returning to the XI Saturday, especially given his injury history. It's more likely Jamie Shackleton will get another start at right-back Saturday to allow Llorente more rest before returning.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out another match Llorente (hamstring) will miss Saturday's match against West Ham, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact There will continue to be a weekly update on Llorente missing matches since the team hasn't released the severity of his hamstring injury. He suffered the issue Sept. 12 and there's a decent chance he'll be out until the international break.
