Marc Roca is United’s sole player out on loan in Spain at Real Betis who face a Sunday night La Liga hosting of Valencia. Roca started his new side’s first seven games of the season but then dropped to the bench for Thursday night’s 1-1 draw at Granada in which he came on as an 81st-minute substitute.
Llorente will now reportedly miss the next two weeks with what is being described as a right hip flexor injury. Speaking after the Genoa defeat, Roma boss Jose Mourinho said as quoted by: “Diego has a history of fitness issues – he often suffers with muscle injuries. He’s played three games in a row so for me it's not a big surprise."
Roma are back in action on Sunday evening at home to Frosinone. Llorente had started every game for Roma so far this season whilst Kristensen has started five out of the season.
