Quique Sánchez Flores will have two weeks to invent a new defense after the sanctions that Jorge Cuenca and Mitrovic will suffer, undisputed starters. The national team break is good for him in that sense, but it will not be easy to recompose a defense that was showing security. The natural substitutes are the two central defenders that remain in the squad, Cabaco and Gastón Álvarez, although there are other alternatives, such as Okay or reconvert to a side. Olivera has played center back on a few occasions, although this time his substitute in left wing, the Czech Jakub Jankto, is also suspended.
All the problems accumulate in the rear. The objective now is to recover the injured players who missed the San Mamés clash and who left the center of the field very depleted. Arambarri and Maksimovic suffer muscle injuries and hope to reach the final against Mallorca one hundred percent. The rest of the team must be available. Due to these injuries, only four players have left with their respective national teams and they will not be able to train under Quique until next Thursday, Olivera and Damián have gone with Uruguay, Mitrovic with Serbia and Djené with Togo.
The day has left Getafe just three points from relegation. Three points over Mallorca, which will be the next visitor to the Coliseum. momentous match. Quique has rested his players who return to work on Tuesday to start preparing him.
