In both bands as lateral, closer to the lime line, Iñigo Lekue It has among its virtues having a versatility that is always appreciated. Gaizka Garitano he has frequently praised that group of footballers who without playing assiduously every time he employs them perform at a more than satisfactory level. Lekue is one of them, a value to rely on and which is having a hard time having continuity.
So much so that this season he has barely enjoyed four minutes after half a dozen games played. He is, therefore, the player on the squad who has had the least participation among those who have acted. He had that little presence before Cádiz, when it was necessary to go to the assault of the yellow in desperation.
And there is no De Marcos
It is shocking that with the injury of From Marcos and with the possibility of being able to make up to five changes, Lekue has not been able to enjoy more prominence. Last year he could not count on much footage either – just over 600 – after taking part in 14 games, half a dozen of them from the start.
It is also true that an injury to his left ankle at the end of May, shortly after resuming training after the break, conditioned him, although he was able to act in four games of the final stretch, of the resumption: Eibar, Barça -title -, Levante and Granada- complete-.
The case of Vesga
While Lekue lacks opportunities to play, the same goes for Vesga, increasingly relegated to second or third plane: he has only played against Granada -56 minutes- and entered the discount against Eibar. And there are not many options on the horizon that he can return to Garitano's schemes. If this continues, you may have the door open for your departure before your contract expires.
Other hopefuls for more minutes
In a situation of uncertainty they are I
bai gómez, waiting for him to recover from his clavicle injury, although with the presence of Berenguer and Morcillo existence is complicated, Cordoba, Sancet -they both played for the last time in Mendizorrotza- and Kodro. Likewise, Villalibre he is not being very squeezed either -120 minutes, always substitute-.
