As if the calendar had returned to the month of September, Javi grace is currently facing the debate over which of its two French centrals, the veteran Eliaquim mangala or the young man Mouctar Diakhaby, must accompany Gabriel Paulista in the center of the rear this Monday in the field of Eibar.
The doubt, however, comes in a different situation since it has only arisen due to the loss for this shock of Hugo Guillamón by injury and by penalty. That the youth squad is the undisputed starter at this point in the season was not in Gracia's plans, as it was the central quarter that the coach pulled at the start of the season but the injuries of his teammates gave him a chance and he took advantage .
But in his absence, Grace must choose center to complete the rear. Mangala He has his seniority in his favor and that he has been with the group for several weeks after overcoming his muscle injury. Given that it is assumed that he cannot play several games in a row due to being prone to injury, it may be a good option if the idea is, as it seems, to return Guillamón.
Diakhaby He has joined the group this week so he has been training less but is the center with the most theoretical projection and the one with the most poster for a hypothetical sale. In this week's tests he has sometimes included him with the starting rear.
At first, Grace will take the two to Euskadi and it will be the same Monday when he communicates the decision of who will complete a defense in which Daniel Wass Y Toni Lato It seems that they will repeat on the flanks and Paulista has a fixed place.
