Leandro Daniel Cabrera Sasía (born 17 June 1991) is a Uruguayan footballer who plays for Spanish club RCD Espanyol. Mainly a central defender, he can also play as a left back.

He spent the vast majority of his career in Spain, mostly in Segunda División. Other than in his own country, he also competed professionally in Italy.

Club career

Born in Montevideo, Cabrera started his career with local Defensor Sporting, playing seven Primera División matches for the first team as they won the 2009 Clausura. In June 2009 he signed with La Liga club Atlético Madrid for €1.5 million, paid to former Uruguay international player Daniel Fonseca who owned his rights (and ceded 50% to Atlético).[2]

In a strange first season, where he even failed to appear for the reserves, Cabrera's debut for the first team only took place on 2 May 2010, playing as left back in a 1–3 away loss against Sevilla FC. He was also booked in the game.[3]

In the summer of 2010, Cabrera was loaned to Recreativo de Huelva for 2010–11, with the Andalusians in the Segunda División.[4] He joined another second-tier side, CD Numancia, on loan for the following campaign.[5] In the following five years – the first two on loan – he continued competing at that level with Hércules CF,[6] Real Madrid Castilla[7] and Real Zaragoza.[8]

On 15 July 2017, free agent Cabrera joined F.C. Crotone on a three-year deal.[9] His debut in the Serie A took place on 20 August, when he featured the full 90 minutes in the 0–3 home loss to A.C. Milan.[10]

Cabrera returned to the Spanish top flight on 15 January 2018, being loaned to Getafe CF.[11] On 7 July the move was move permanent,[12] and he rarely missed a match during his spell at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.[13]

On 20 January 2020, Cabrera signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with RCD Espanyol after his €9 million release clause was paid.[14] In March, he tested positive for COVID-19.[15]
