Roma coach Mourinho not giving up on Leeds loanee Llorente

Leeds United loanee Diego Llorente will get a chance to redeem himself at AS Roma.

The 29-year-old has not been impressing manager Jose Mourinho in recent weeks.

Per RomaToday, Mourinho will give him one more chance in the starting lineup.

Llorente will replace Marash Kumbulla, who has also been struggling of late.

The defender, who could return to the Whites in the summer if Roma do not take up the option to buy him permanently, will start against Sampdoria at the weekend.

Since his move to Roma in January, Llorente has only managed 72 minutes of action.
