Report: Leeds United defender Diego Llorente out for two weeks

Leeds United have suffered a major blow with defender Diego Llorente picking up an injury once again.

The Spaniard – who joined in the summer transfer window from Real Sociedad – has picked up a muscle injury and is set to be out on the sidelines for at least two weeks.

The 27-year-old returned from a long injury lay-off last week against Chelsea. He played for 81 minutes, after coming in for Robin Koch who got injured.

Leeds confirmed on Tuesday that Koch will undergo knee surgery, and the German international is expected to remain out for three months.
