The injuries of the Greek Leonardo Koutris and the Ghanaians Baba Rahman and Lumor Agbenyenu will prevent Mallorca from having left wingers in the eleven days remaining for the end of the LaLiga.
The last to leave, with muscle discomfort, has been Lumor, and he will not be able to be part of the team that faces FC Barcelona in Son Moix in the resumption of the championship after the health crisis due to the coronavirus.
Since the departure of Ecuadorian Pervis Estupiñán to Atlético Osasuna, neither Koutris, Rahman nor Lumor have been able to consolidate on the left wing of the defense. Baba, on loan from Chelsea, was the first to be injured after suffering a partial tear in the ligament of his right knee in the LaLIga match at Getafe.
He returned to play in January, but his knee did not respond and he had to undergo a surgical procedure that accelerated his return to Chelsea.
His compatriot Lumor returned with physical problems from a call with the Ghana team last November and caused a loss, a circumstance that forced vermilions to sign Greek Koutris in the winter market.
Koutris, from Olympiacos, was also seriously injured in the knee during the match the match against Betis at the Benito Villamarín stadium played last February.
Shortly before the championship came to a standstill, coach Vicente Moreno could only count on Lumor as a ‘specialist’ in that area of defense, but this one has also caused a loss.
Moreno will have to look for solutions to face the last eleven games with guarantees on the left side of his team, and it is likely that he will resort to right-backs, such as Joan Sastre and Fran Gámez, unless he gives opportunities to the branch's defenses.
