Having Stuani is a luxury for Girona, but the truth is that this season they have barely been able to enjoy it. The injuries have been a great headache for the Uruguayan and he has only been able to participate in seven League duels. Last Saturday, in the Copa del Rey against Cádiz, he reappeared and it is expected that this 2021 will be decisive in the rojiblanco team. His goals are necessary to dream of the playoff and Stuani does not reject the leading role.
The Uruguayan striker is the rojiblanco club's main asset and the entity does not hide that many of the options to finish in the top six classified this season go through him. Since his arrival at the Girona club he has shown a great punch and this season his goals are being missed. The success facing the opposite goal is a pending subject for the second round and that is, In the first 21 league games, the rojiblanco block has only celebrated 16 goals and he is the third-lowest scorer in Second (only Alcorcón and Albacete have worse numbers, with 12). And to verify the importance of Stuani just look at his data and it is that last season, he was already able to score 16 goals in just the first round. That is to say, the same ones that all Girona now carries.
But Stuani is back and his feelings are unbeatable. Against Cádiz he enjoyed a scoring chance in the little more than 25 minutes he was on the pitch and this season, despite playing only seven duels, he has already accumulated two goals. This Saturday against Espanyol he is running as a starter and it is an encounter that is marked in red by its parrot past. Also has the incentive to return to live a duel with David López. The squabbles between the two have been a constant in the last duels between Girona and Espanyol.
