A number of Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to react to the news that Diego Llorente has been added to the Spain squad for the international break.

Llorente had initially missed out on making Luis Enrique’s squad. The Spain boss did however, include Rodrigo after his two goals across the games against Wolves and Norwich.

But the Spaniards have been dealt a blow with Barcelona defender Eric Garcia withdrawing due to injury.

And with that, Llorente has been added to the side that will face Greece and Sweden in their final World Cup qualifying game.

As things stand, Spain sit second in their group. But two wins will ensure that they qualify automatically for next year’s tournament.

Llorente has been a stalwart of the Leeds side for much of this season. The 28-year-old has started seven times in the Premier League having initially been injured.

And while there have been moments when the centre-back has given Leeds fans a fright, there is a feeling that the defence is much stronger when Llorente is involved.

The reaction to his call-up has been somewhat mixed. Obviously, the large majority of supporters have insisted that he deserves the chance.
