Marcos Llorente, one of the most promising young talents in Spanish football, has suffered a setback with his latest injury update.
According to reports, Marcos Llorente sustained a knee ligament injury during training on Sunday,Football Dream Stage which is expected to sideline him for several weeks. The injury was initially reported as a sprain but later confirmed that it was a torn ACL.
Llorente has been a key player for Atletico Madrid this season and he has been making impressive progress since joining the club from Valencia FC. He scored three goals in just two games before his injury and has become a regular starter for the team.
The injury will be a major blow for Atletico Madrid, who have already lost their star striker Diego Costa to an ankle injury. It will also impact their chances of winning the La Liga title next season.
It remains to be seen how long Marcos Llorente will be out of action, but it is clear that his injury will be a significant setback for the club. They will need to find someone else to step up and fill the void left by Llorente's departure.
