Javi Puado, Espanyol forward, begins to see the end of the tunnel after two months in which a cumbersome pubalgia has put him out of combat. The international parakeet is already running as a starter against Granada, if Vicente Moreno considers it opportune, seeing himself already recovered from his injury.
Questioned by the alleged dependence on Raúl de Tomás, when remembering the game in Getafe where an alarming lack of goal was evidenced without the top scorer, Puado claims the power of a broad staff. “Raúl helps us a lot and is very important. Whenever players like him are on the field, it is important to us. Of course, we have a large squad and all the players can contribute a lot. Everyone can do their part, although we always want it to be available. He and everyone ”, he highlighted.
The youth squad has acknowledged that not having stopped for many months, between Espanyol and the national team, ultimately took a toll on him in the form of injury.
“Having an injury like this never helps. I have not had vacations, I have trained and worked to recover well and be available the sooner the better. These two months have been good for me, but let it be due to injury it is not a dish of good taste“, has explained Puado, although he assures that now it is for 90 minutes: “I feel fine.”
His first goal resists him in the present course, although it has had few minutes. In spite of everything, he is not obsessed with it. “The first goal? I don’t care. I always try to help the team, I have never focused only on goals. Surely they will arrive, last year there was also an unmarked streak and then they arrived. In First it is more difficult, but I am not going to eat my head either, “he said.
Regarding the fact that Espanyol is one of the worst visitors in the category, they have not yet won a game away, Puado has emphasized the desire to reverse the jinx. “Outside it is resisting us, it is true. We want to reverse the dynamics playing at home and try not to repeat Getafe (…) Games like Getafe make the fans hesitate. Everything that hurts them also hurts us. That is why we want to win against Granada and give them joy ”, he declared.
