Important casualties for Getafe tonight in San Mamés. Maksimovic and Mauro Arambarri will not be able to play in Bilbao due to muscle injuries. The Uruguayan is ruled out, the Serbian, almost. Quique already warned that there were three players being treated during the week outside the team and these are the two midfielders and the left-back Jonathan Silva who will not be at La Catedral either. With the national team break in sight, they don’t want to take any risks. Arambarri is not going to travel with Uruguay to fully recover. With the Serbian there have been more doubts and his presence is not ruled out until the last minute.
The sensitive casualties of two essential players for Quique will be covered, in principle, by Gonzalo Villar and Óscar Rodríguez. The first will debut as a starter after having played good minutes in his last appearances. Óscar is a regular in the line-ups since he has so far covered all the casualties that have occurred in the midfield. Aleñá will complete the trio of midfielders against Marcelino’s men. Okay and Florentino are the other midfielders with a chance to play tonight.
Arambarri and Maksimovic have been a common-law partner in Getafe’s midfield since Bordalás brought them together in the First Division and they have been starters with all subsequent coaches. In fact, Getafe have lost all the games this season in which Mauro Arambarri has not been on the pitch. Tonight he will try to break that statistic.
