Diego Llorente Injury: Suffers new setback

Llorente (thigh) was forced off in the 7th minute of Monday's 0-0 draw against Rayo Vallecano after suffering a new injury that will likely make him miss the rest of the year, according to Marca.

Llorente has been struggling with injuries this season and suffered a new one on Monday, as he was forced off in the 7th minute against Rayo Vallecano, holding his thigh and receiving ice treatment while sitting on the bench. This new issue will likely sideline him for the rest of the year and is tough, as it comes at the first time this season that he was starting two consecutive games. His absence will push Natan and Marc Bartra to pair in central defense for upcoming fixtures.
