Bad news for Rayo Vallecano. This time in the form of injury. As AS has learned, Fran García suffers a partial rupture of the crusader of the right knee. Of course, it is not serious. The 21-year-old left-back will not have to be intervened – that option has not even been considered – and he could return to the franjirrojo team in about six weeks. And it is that his knee is responding well.
The injury will be a setback for Rayo and for himself Fran García, who was playing a leading role in this league start. The defender is the second player with the most minutes in the squad (990, only behind Catena with 1,080) and, so far, he had only missed two commitments with the Vallecano box, one —Tenerife— for the call with the Under-21 National Team and the other —the last against Castellón— for this ailment.
Carmona's hard tackle to Fran García.
Said injury It comes as a consequence of Carmona's very hard entry into El Molinón. A chilling action for which the sportinguista saw the direct red, in minute 66, after Ais Reig reviewed it in the VAR. Still, Fran García finished the game. Now it will be the turn of Iván Martos, who remains as the only left-handed back available in the squad.
