Deportivo went on vacation on December 20 after playing the Teresa Herrera in Riazor. A week of vacation that ends this Monday, the date on which Vázquez has summoned his pupils in Abegondo (10:30). The blue and white coach will have ten working days until the next official commitment, which will be the Cup match against Alavés in Riazor (January 6). Four days later, Deportivo will play in the league, this time at home. He will do it in Zamora, a match that will serve to close the first round.
All staff members are expected to be in Abegondo on Monday, including those who have changed continent to spend this week on vacation. They are Diego Rolan, who traveled to Uruguay, and Uche Agbo, who traveled to Nigeria. The club has not yet provided the full weekly work plan, but players are expected to, at a minimum, have New Year's Day off.
The injured
The ten that remain at the beginning of the competition must serve Vázquez to hit the key of a Deportivo that has been very solid in most of the matches but has had great problems in attack and in dominating the rhythm of the matches. The other point of interest for the coach will be in recovering the injured. Keko is already discharged, the same as it is expected that Valín is already in perfect condition. It will be more complicated for Miku, injured in the adductor of his right leg against El Ejido the day he reappeared. Something similar happened to Derik at Teresa Herrera, although it seems his problems are minor.
