Borja Garcés, forward of Leganes, has exercised this Monday normally in the first session after his technician, Asier Garitano, revealed that last Saturday he committed an act of indiscipline attending his brother’s wedding in Melilla without permission, neither from the club, nor from the coach himself. The Melilla striker has been part of the work during the 15 minutes behind the open door that the club has allowed the press to observe.
With an influx of media greater than usual, the afternoon began with the visit of Martín Ortega, general director, and Txema Indias, sports director. They both arrived just before 4 in the afternoon and left after about 20 minutes. Then, already on the green, the session began with a group of about ten minutes in which Asier Garitano, with his back to the press box, he addressed the group. At times it seemed that he was also speaking to a Borja Garcés who has not participated. Neither has any other member of the circle present, player or member of the coaching staff.

The group was made up of all the players, including the youth players who Garitano has called to complete training (Javi Rubio, Naim, Alba, Joserra y Cisse) and, above all, the injured. Namely: Bustinza, Quintillà, Doukouré, Avilés, Sabin Merino, Yoel Bárcenas, Jon Bautista and Fede Vico. The latter had not been part of the list of casualties before, but he did present discomfort in the last games. Typically, you can exercise with the group again in the next few days. Just Omeruo, also injured, he has been absent from the talk at the foot of the grass.
After the conversation is over, the training has started led by Miguel Perez, the physical trainer. Asier GaritanoAfter starting work, he has been chatting for about 10 minutes with Unai Bustinza, captain of the Leganes. It should be remembered that the situation of the Bergara coach is very delicate. The club has already begun the search for a replacement that could take place this week before the Almería game.
On Butarque assume that the need for a change is impossible to avoid and only the time in which it takes to reach an agreement with the possible replacements will be the one that decides if the goodbye of Garitano of the club of which he is a legend materializes before or after the very complicated visit to the leader, the Almeria, game in which he could go with ten casualties: in addition to the eight long-term injuries, the sanctioned Ruben Pardo and the section Borja Garcés… As long as there is no change of coach and whoever arrives decides to have him, an option that is not ruled out.
