Januzaj is injured and is almost ruled out against Huesca

Adnan Januzaj will not be able to give rest to Cristian Portugués ‘Portu’ in the visit of Huesca to the Reale Arena. The Belgian attacker has retired early from the afternoon session in Zubieta and is almost ruled out for this day. “Januzaj has not finished the training session due to an overload in the left rectus femoris “, indicates the realistic club through the medical report that it has issued.

The Belgian player recovered in the league break in time to play against Betis, before which he came out in the second half, scoring an authentic showing that his muscular discomfort was already forgotten. In Croatia he only played a few minutes at the end, being on the pitch when Bautista scored the winning goal against Rijeka. He did not seem to have any injuries, so it was taken for granted that the Belgian was going to start the post-Europe league game, that is, against Huesca.

But this new setback will force to change the plans of Imanol Alguacil, who is also pending if Ander Barrenetxea overcomes some back problems that prevented him from traveling to Croatia during the week. Because that way he can give Mikel Oyarzabal a rest on the left wing. It must be remembered that Merquelanz, Sangalli, Illarramendi, Zaldua and Zubeldia are still injured, something that compromises the intention of including rotations in the realistic team.
