Luis Abram and Darwin Machís will join training with Granada on Monday to start preparing for next Friday’s duel against Osasuna (9:00 pm). The rojiblancos internationals have faced three matches with their national teams with very uneven participation. Luis Abram will return to the Nasrid capital without wear, since he has not played any minute with the Peruvian team, while Machís has been a starter in all three games in Venezuela.
The rojiblanco central defender has followed the three matches of his team from the bench, which have resulted in a victory against Chile (2-0) and two defeats against Bolivia (1-0) and Argentina (1-0). Robert Moreno has taken advantage of the fact that this weekend they do not play a game due to the postponement of Granada – Atlético to give a respite to Abram and Machís, who will join the work at the beginning of the week.
The center back will return fresh and without minutes of competition in the legs. Quite the opposite Darwin Machís, who played his third game in seven days with Venezuela this past morning. The Granada winger has been a starter in the three qualifying commitments for the next World Cup in Qatar, where has accumulated a total of 238 minutes of play and scored a goal in the victory of la vinotinto against Ecuador (2-1).
Machís set off alarms in Granada due to muscular discomfort after the first match against Brazil (defeat 1-3). However, he recovered in time for the following matches and in principle will be at the disposal of Robert Moreno at the beginning of next week to prepare for the important match in El Sadar against Osasuna.
Duarte is still on the sidelines
The other player called up by his team for this league break, Domingos Duarte, was unable to travel with Portugal due to the very strong clash he suffered with Luis Maximiano from which he has not yet recovered. The center-back is still touched, exercising outside the group and his participation in the next league match is still not sure with Granada. Montoro, who also continues between cottons due to some discomfort, has more options to arrive fully recovered from the duel against Osasuna.
