Diego Llorente and Robin Koch were reportedly absent from Leeds United’s first day of pre-season training as they close in on moves away from Elland Road. According to a report by the Athletic, the defensive pair were absent from the first day of testing at Leeds Beckett University, with the pair thought to be closing in on moves away.
A host of Whites first-team members returned to West Yorkshire this morning to undergo tests and medical examinations before preparations step up with a return to the Thorp Arch turf on Tuesday. Those that weren't involved in international action were due in and they were joined by club captain Liam Cooper, who despite his exploits with Scotland returned to training a week early.
However, the report claims Llorente and Koch were notable absentees, with moves thought to be in the offing. Koch has been linked to a host of clubs throughout the summer, with Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United being amongst those mentioned alongside the German’s name.
