Leeds United defender Diego Llorente is suffering with muscle fatigue, according to a report in Marca.

Leeds have serious concerns about Llorente’s availability for their next game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, after he was forced to pull out of international duty early.

Llorente left the Spain camp to return to Leeds, where he faces scans to assess the severity of the injury.

The media in Spain suggest that he is currently suffering with fatigue after performing for his country against Portugal last week.

If that is to be the case then it may not be too bad a scenario for Leeds.

Harry Kane was suffering with a similar complaint heading into the international break, but has only needed a week off, before being deemed ready to start again.

Leeds’ official website has been more conservative with their estimate of his recovery, though.

They now say that the central defender could be out for up to three weeks.
