Leeds fans react as Diego Llorente named in Spain squad

Leeds United defender Diego Llorente has been named in Luis Enrique’s Spain squad for their upcoming games against Greece, Georgia and Kosovo.

Llorente picked up a muscle injury whilst on international duty back in October and it took him till December to regain full fitness.

The 27-year-old got injured once again in the 3-1 defeat against Chelsea and didn’t return till Boxing Day.

Unfortunately, he got injured yet again and only returned in February. Since then he has been playing regularly for the Whites.

The Leeds defender has played a full 90 minutes in their last four games, including Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Chelsea.
