Diego Llorente - Page 4 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

Out against Newcastle Llorente (hamstring) will miss Friday's trip to Newcastle, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Bielsa didn't give a ton of information on Llorente, which isn't a great sign and it wouldn't be surprising if he was held out until the international break if it's a hamstring injury. Leeds enter Friday's match with an issue at center-back, as Liam Cooper is the only available option at the moment.

Comes off injured against Liverpool Llorente was subbed out of Sunday's match against Liverpool in the 33rd minute after suffering an injury.

Impact Llorente was making just his third appearance of the season in all competitions on Sunday after recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered in early August. The fear is that he re-aggravated his hamstring, although it is unclear whether he will be forced to miss additional game time due to this injury. Leeds play next on Friday.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for full 90 Llorente started the midweek match and is ready for a full 90 in league play, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact It looks like Llorente will be an option to start again after dealing with another muscle injury. He's most likely to take the spot of Pascal Struijk in the starting XI, but that may not happen immediately given his constant injuries in the past year.

Starting Cup match Llorente (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's Cup match against Crewe Alexandra.

Impact Llorente is a nice boost to the squad Tuesday after missing the first two matches of the season because of injury. He constantly battled injuries last season, but once fully healthy, he could move into the starting XI, especially given how Leeds have looked in the back the first two matches.

AUGUST 24, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Expected out first two matches Llorente (hamstring) will miss one or two more weeks, subject to evolution, according to manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Impact Llorente will miss Saturday's opener and probably at least one more match unless he can recover quickly. Since it's a hamstring injury, he probably won't be asked to start before the international break. The hope is that this doesn't turn into another injury-ravaged season similar to the last one.

AUGUST 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Could miss start of season Llorente is expected to miss the start of the season because of an injured suffered in last week's friendly against Betis, reports Leeds Live.

Impact Llorente battled numerous muscle injuries last season that resulted in just 15 league appearances for Leeds. Unfortunately, it looks like he'll start the new campaign injured, which means they'll already have to turn to a backup for the opener, possibly meaning a start for Robin Koch on Saturday against Man United.
