Llorente has not featured since suffering his second injury of the season in his comeback game at Chelsea and in his attempt to return from the second problem encountered a set-back.

Bielsa admitted last week before the FA Cup trip to Crawley Town he was being more cautious with the Spanish international centre-back, but revealed today that he and club captain Cooper, who played 45 minutes against the Red Devils, are available to him this weekend.

Tyler Roberts, who was originally categorised as 'unavailable' for Spurs and Crawley, was unwell according to Bielsa today. But he too is now back and given the head coach's declaration of the forward's importance to the Whites during his absence, is expected to take his place in the matchday squad again.

"Diego Llorente, Tyler Roberts and Liam Cooper are all available," said the Whites head coach.

He also revealed that only Kalvin Phillips is unavailable for the Brighton game. The central midfielder will sit out through suspension having racked up five yellow cards, his fifth coming in the 3-0 defeat at Spurs. Pascal Struijk is expected to deputise in the defensive midfield role, having featured there from the start against Crawley despite Phillips' presence in the starting line-up for the cup tie.
