Bad news for Getafe with the FIFA virus as the protagonist. The Uruguayan Federation has announced that Mathías Olivera is out for tomorrow’s game and returns to Spain to continue his recovery. The winger, who started in the match that qualified Uruguay for the World Cup, noticed some discomfort in his calf and returned to Getafe where he will undergo tests to determine his injury. At the moment it is doubtful for Saturday’s clash against Mallorca in which the azulones play three vital points to achieve the goal of permanence. Damián Suárez remains in the Uruguayan concentration.
Olivera’s loss would be serious because he is an indisputable starter for Quique and because his replacement is sanctioned. Jakub Jankto was sent off in the last league match at San Mamés and will serve his first game of suspension on Saturday. The other left-handed winger in the squad, Jonathan Silva, has not been able to play Getafe’s last three games due to injury. Jorge Cuenca, who has acted in that lateral position on some occasions, is also suspended, so a demarcation in which Olivera is the starter is complicated whenever he has been available. Iglesias on one side and Damián on the other would be the alternative if the Uruguayan’s injury is confirmed.
After a weekend of rest, the team begins to prepare for the visit of Mallorca with the absences of Damián, Mitrovic and Djené who continue with their national teams. Ünal and Jankto return without the World Cup prize and everyone is still waiting for the recoveries of Maksimovic and Arambarri who stayed at home due to injury.
