Marcos Llorente

Llorente is back in Madrid at the Vithas Madrid Arturo Soria hospital for the usual tests ahead of resuming training with Atletico Madrid, according to Carlos Fernandez of Marca.

Analysis: Llorente helped Spain win the World Cup, recording an assist in the group stage win over Uruguay after starting two matches at right back, part of a title winning run in which he provided valuable depth in defense. He is expected to hold a decent role for Atletico this season, and his completion of preseason medical testing marks the next step before he formally rejoins full training.

Bags assist

Llorente assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 1-0 win versus Uruguay.

Analysis: Llorente would earn an assist Friday as Spain found themselves on the right side of fortune, with the midfielder linking up with Alex Baena before his strike was parried into the net by the Uruguayan keeper. This would give Llorente his first assist or goal of the tournament, coming after four chances created. He has started in two games at right-back for Spain in the group stage, with Pedro Porro as another option for the team.
