Sergio Canales has been dragging discomfort for several games and the reason for them has been revealed by the radio station Cope Más Sevilla. According to said media, the Cantabrian soccer player suffers a crack in one of the toes of his left foot, an injury that causes intense pain in the area but that the soccer player seems willing to endure to help the team.
Doubting until the last minute for the match against Eintracht, Canales was absent from training sessions over the weekend and only stepped on the pitch in the session prior to the match against the Germans. Being suspended for the game against Atlético last Sunday, everything pointed to Pellegrini having given him rest, but the problem seems greater than the logical exhaustion due to the accumulation of games.
On the other hand, Canales’ commitment is beyond doubt. He is one of the captains of the squad and, without going any further, you just have to remember how he isolated himself in a hotel the days before the cup derby in January after his wife tested positive for COVID.
“I don’t think Canales suffered from the blow he suffered. He played with a bandage and I don’t think he had any problems,” Pellegrini explained in the press room when asked about his player’s physical condition. Now the uncertainty arises as to how long Canales will be able to hold out.
