Leeds United defender Diego Llorente has provided an injury update after being forced off during Sunday's Premier League defeat to Liverpool at Elland Road.

Llorente was taken off in the 33rd minute and Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa revealed in his post-match press conference that the defender had a muscular problem but that he was unsure of the severity of the injury.

But Spanish international centre-back Llorente took to his Instagram page on Monday morning to provide a very positive update in the aftermath of Sunday's 3-0 reverse.

"Yesterday was a tough day due to the defeat at home and the injury," said Llorente.

"Fortunately, I have nothing serious and I will be back soon. Thanks for all your support."
