A lot of Leeds United fans have replied to a post from Phil Hay that includes a link to a tweet from the Spanish national team’s Twitter account that confirms Diego Llorente will miss Spain’s game against Ukraine with an injury.
It is unclear how bad the Leeds man’s injury is, but that is now both Llorente and Liam Cooper injured on international duty for their respective countries.
So, what did these Leeds fans make of the injury news on Diego Llorente?
Are you annoyed at this news?
Yes, he shouldn't have been playing
No, it was bound to happen
Right time to sue the Spanish FA.

What a joke. At least he isn’t first choice

Acts shocked ?

So they’ve broke him

The 27-year-old has yet to make his Leeds debut since joining from Real Sociedad, and if this is a bad injury, he might not be making that debut for a bit longer yet, either.
However, all that is known about it at this stage is that it is a muscle injury and will therefore miss the Ukraine game.
This would give Llorente until next Monday to make a recovery and be considered ready for selection before Leeds’ next game.
This post from Hay continued to attract the attention of angry Leeds fans.
Meaningless, needless matches

Stupid international games injuring players then clubs pick up the pieces and rebuild them.

Llorente played 90 minutes against Portugal to earn his sixth cap for his country, but then suffered this injury.
It is clear that many Leeds fans are frustrated at Llorente’s injury, and they will just have to hope that he is fine and ready to play against Wolves in a week’s time.
