Versatile option for Spain
Llorente has been named in Spain's World Cup squad and will compete with Pedro Porro for the starting right-back role throughout the competition, offering manager De la Fuente a different and more physical profile in that position.
Analysis: Llorente ended the season with Atletico having provided four assists across 29 La Liga appearances in 2,184 minutes, continuing to demonstrate the versatility and quality that has made him one of the most useful players in the Spanish squad over recent years. The versatile defender brings the experience of having operated in multiple positions across the pitch for both club and country, and his ability to contribute defensively and push forward into dangerous areas gives Spain a genuinely different option to Pedro Porro on the right side. Llorente heads into the World Cup ready to take his chance if called upon and capable of performing at the highest level whenever coach De la Fuente turns to him.
Eligible again
Llorente has served his suspension and could be selected in the season finale versus Villarreal.
Analysis: Llorente will aim to regain a starting role after completing his ban, possibly replacing Obed Vargas in midfield but also offering an alternative to Marc Pubill at right-back. The versatile man has failed to get involved in the score sheet in his last six games across all competitions, but he's a consistent contributor of crosses and tackles, and should enjoy meaningful playing time as he gets ready to represent his country in the upcoming World Cup.
