Kang-in Lee left Paterna last Friday with crutches. The Korean was injured in Thursday's session and thus became the 43rd injury suffered by a Valencia footballer this season. The black and white infirmary has not been without tenants or a single game of the season, despite the fact that Valencia between the League, Champions, Cup and Super Cup has played 39. Yesterday, for example, if the coronavirus had not appeared in our lives and the derby would have been played against Levante at Mestalla, Celades would have faced it with six casualties due to injury: Mangala, Garay, Piccini, Manu Vallejo, Maxi Gómez and Kang-in Lee.
Valencia is by far the team that has suffered the most injuries so far this season. None of the teams that have played in European competition, therefore are the ones that have played the most games so far this season, come close to such a figure. Thus, the Real Madrid accumulates 31 injured, the Barcelona, 29 and the Athletic, 2. 3. Zinedine Zidane Y Quique Setién, curiously, after Celades are the coaches that today have more tenants in the infirmary, 4 (the same as Granada). By cons, the Cholo Simeone has come to March with the infirmary empty.
The other side of the coin in terms of injuries refers to it Seville Y Getafe. Although Lopetegui Y Bordalás they have also had to compete during the week in the Europa League (such as Espanyol, 19 injured), the Seville and Azul infirmaries have hardly had tenants to date: 8 players in the case of Sevilla (14 players have not been injured this year) and nine in the case of Getafe (Bordalás has had 17 medically available footballers).
Only four healthy. Celades has had to live with injuries since his first day (with games such as against Betis with up to eight casualties). Only four footballers have not suffered any injuries: Jaume, Wass, Parejo Y Thierry Correia. The minimum remainder has been lost at least one match with some type of illness. Actually just Ferran only one has been lost (from a cold). Piccini (who has been injured since summer) and Garay (which since February 1 causes low for the rest of the season) have taken the worst part, although Guedes he missed 21 games because of his ankle, Maxi Gomez has recently undergone surgery and has no return date and Gameiro, not to mention everyone, he has been injured four times.
