Spanish international centre-back Llorente was taken off in
the early stages of United's pre-season friendly against Real Betis at
Loughborough University after picking up a leg muscular injury and the
27-year-old has not been seen since.
Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa said this week that
Llorente could be looking at another two weeks out and the defender took to
Instagram on Saturday as he eyed his Whites return.
"I keep working to be with the team as soon as
possible" said Llorente ahead of Saturday's clash against Manchester
United at Old Trafford.
Asked when Llorente could be expected back on Thursday,
Bielsa said: "It is subject to his evolution but it will be one or two
weeks more."
