One Leeds United eye began to drift towards Thursday’s friendly with Elche as the players began their third day of training in Spain. Tuesday morning saw the return of Diego Llorente to the group, though he remained in the gym with Luis Sinisterra after undergoing hand surgery on Monday.
Stuart Dallas spent more time outdoors, but again restricted his involvement to some lighter moments at the back end of the session. Junior Firpo was expected to arrive at the Oliva Nova resort later in the day before playing a part on the grass in Wednesday’s session.
After a series of hard exercises on Monday, Tuesday was a lighter, shorter day with an afternoon free for the players to unwind and, in some cases, play golf together along the 18-hole course on site. After the initial warm-ups around the pitch, the players took positions around the centre-circle and went through some swift pass-and-move drills which left you wondering how they avoided running into one another.
