Diego Llorente Injury: Back fit for Sunday

Llorente (hamstring) is back fit and available for Sunday's clash against Athletic, coach Manuel Pellegrini said in the press conference.

Llorente missed the beginning of the season due to a hamstring injury but has resumed team training this week and is now an option to face Athletic on Sunday. He was a regular starter in central defense last season, starting 29 of his 30 appearances and contributing to seven clean sheets. The defender will likely regain that role in the coming fixtures and replace either Natan or Marc Bartra in the backline.
