The expensive Fuenlabrada toll

Girona tries to extend the joy obtained in Fuenlabrada (1-2) to the maximum, but the victory was perhaps a bit expensive. This Thursday, the rojiblanco team receives Alcorcón in Montilivi and Michel will have to reinvent his team. Five players will suffer the consequences of what they experienced at the Fernando Torres stadium and will be out. Samu Saiz, Jairo Izquierdo and Adrián Ortolá were expelled and Borja García and Darío Sarmiento were injured. These last two were forced to ask for the change during the duel after suffering muscle problems and the omens are not entirely good.

The casualties, without a doubt, are a headache for Michel because, in addition, the absences of Jairo, Samu Saiz, Ortolá, Borja García and Darío Sarmiento join those of the injured Pol Lozano and Óscar Ureña. The latter could no longer travel to Fuenlabrada due to an ailment in the biceps femoris in his right leg and will be out for two to three weeks. But not everything is negative. Nobody hides that not being able to count on seven players is a considerable setback, but it is also necessary to indicate that Michel seems to have made all the players in the squad believe in his style and the coach is going through one of his best moments at Girona. The team has been able to add seven of the last nine points in play and the sensations, finally, are accompanied by results. This Thursday against Alcorcón, which occupies relegation places, the Girona team has the opportunity to continue taking giant steps up in the standings.

In this week-long week there is not too much time to recreate and one of Michel’s biggest concerns is to physically recover his players. The Alcorcón awaits you and despite the fact that there are casualties, the technician also knows that he is recovering Álex Baena, after completing the cycle in Fuenlabrada. The player loaned by Villarreal will return to ownership.
