Luckless Llorente suffers Real Madrid setback as he is sidelined by recurrence of groin injury

Marcos Llorente is set for another spell on the Real Madrid sidelines after re-injuring his left groin in Wednesday's Copa del Rey clash with Barcelona.

Llorente missed three weeks at the start of January with the same injury and had only made three appearances since returning to full fitness.
