The coronavirus crisis has paralyzed football at all levels, both the competitive and the training routine. The deadlines, today, are unknown and it is impossible to make predictions about when LaLiga will resume. However, this time could be useful for the teams to recover their injured. In the case of Lightning, two would be the main affected: Comesaña and Well. Both continue with their recovery, a goal for which they will have an unexpected extension of days and even weeks.
Santi Comesaña's last game with the Strip was Numancia (2-2) in mid-November Since then, problems in the pubic area have become a real headache for the player. Finally, on January 16, the Galician midfielder had to undergo surgery for a “bilateral inguinal hernia” and the red-headed medical services estimated the discharge time at about two months.
Comesaña's return was scheduled for mid-March. More or less, the same date for which Well should have been recovered. The playmaker was going to have to stop for about six weeks, after suffering “a tear in the adductor major of the right thigh”. An injury that was made in the course of the match against Extremadura and completely fortuitous, since he received no blow.
Who is practically recovered is Velázquez. The defender suffered “a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee” during the preseason, for which he was forced to abandon the concentration and undergo surgery. However, that is already past for the Uruguayan central defender, who has gradually reintegrated with the group. Emi returned to work with her colleagues the week before the last league game, that of Elche.
