Jon Perez Bolo spoke this Thursday about the knee operation of Manu hernando, who will miss the remainder of the season after enduring since last January 3 with a conservative treatment to try to recover the damaged ligament in his right knee.
The blue and white coach did not want to make value judgments about the steps followed, sincee both Ponferradina and Real Madrid, the club to which the footballer belongs, had recommended that he undergo surgery much earlier, but the player preferred a less aggressive option: “I'm not a doctor and I don't know what the best assessment will be, that's what the professionals and the player are for, who is his life. They made a decision between them and I don't know if it's the best or not. For us it is bad news because since the beginning of the year we have not been able to count on a player who was important to us “.
Bolo also referred to the recovery processes of Gaspar and Sielva, both injured in the match against Sporting on March 7: “They have been part of the training and are progressing favorably, but we do not know if they will be in a position to play on Monday against a rival like Leganés. We will assess their possible participation until the last minute “.
As to Rios Reina, who has been in the dry dock since the beginning of December, the coach was optimistic about his possible return before the end of the season: “There are many games to play and we trust that he can be available in some. He is working hard so that so be it, but until the doctors tell us that we can force him one hundred percent, we will not assess whether he is strong enough to play. We trust that it can be that way. “
