Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa insists he's not lost confidence in Diego Llorente.
The former Real Sociedad defender has struggled with injury since his summer arrival.
But Bielsa insists: "He's an international with Spain. A player formed at Real Madrid. I consider what you're saying. Very difficult to ignore the injuries he's had.
"There's only one satisfactory response to your question: he doesn't repeat another of these injuries, play regularly and show his qualities. That's what we desire. He works in a big way to make sure this happens.
"Anything I say you can come back with the points you've made. The only way to have consistency in the response is if he comes back and plays regularly. If he comes back and can't play regularly, then the response can't be consistent. That's why we have to wait and see what happens. "
