Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa says Diego Llorente is fit and available for selection.

The 27-year-old picked up a groin injury while on international duty with Spain in October, shortly after signing for the club. He then suffered a setback in training and currently has just one appearance as an unused substitute to his name in West Yorkshire.

"He's healthy, he's in conditions to play and the ideal thing would be for him to play with the under-23s before he plays with the first team because it's been a while since he's played now," Bielsa told the media ahead of Leeds' trip to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea this weekend.

"We'll see. We hope we don't have a situation where we have to accelerate his process into the team."
