Diego Llorente
32-Year-Old
Betis
La Liga
OUT
Injury Hamstring
Est. Return 8/27/2025
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Llorente was a cornerstone of the Betis defense last season, leading the team in completed passes (1,378), clearances (152), and minutes played (2,522). He was a regular starter at center-back when healthy, though a hamstring injury required surgery and kept him out of the final seven league matches. He's expected to be fully fit for the start of the 2025/26 campaign and should remain one of the first names on the team sheet after posting seven clean sheets in 29 starts last season.
Likely available next week
Llorente (hamstring) is not yet available for Betis and will aim to return next week, coach Manuel Pellegrini said in the press conference.
ANALYSIS
Llorente is nearing a return from his hamstring injury but Friday's game against Alaves is coming too soon for him. The center back will likely be assessed at the beginning of next week to see where he is and if he can be available again. Until then, Natan and Marc Bartra are expected to be the starting pair in central defense. That said, his progress will continue to be monitored closely before making any decision on his return.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Aston Villa showing interest
Aston Villa are keen on making a move for Llorente, according to Ficherio.
ANALYSIS
Llorente has been one of Betis' best players this season, and his versatility on the defensive end could be useful for several teams. He's having a bounce-back season after a subpar 2023/24 campaign with Roma, and this means teams should start knocking on Betis' door soon to see whether the Spaniard will be available or not.
