It took 79 days for Imanol Alguacil can count on his entire squad this season, with the exception of the long-term injured Luca Sangalli, whose return is expected from January 2021. Among the usual soccer injuries, sanctions and this year the cases of coronavirus, the coach of the Real society he has had to be aware of the infirmary every week to know which players he could summon for each game. Now just as we enter December the infirmary gives him a truce that, seeing the precedents of this course, it will be necessary to see how long it lasts. It is convenient not to trust, they think about Zubieta.
But for now the coaching staff txuri-urdin breathes. Because in a season as demanding and full of matches as the current one (Real is immersed in the campaign with the most matches in its history), all the players who are part of the realistic first squad will be very important to avoid the fatigue of playing each three days and keep the campus as cool as possible. In that sense, and despite the many casualties that the San Sebastian team has been having, La Real has not suffered in terms of results and play, to the point that it is the solo leader of Primera And in Europe they have all the options open to overcome the group stage, as first or second in group F, with two days remaining. La Real has overcome this first part of the season with a very good note, having much less wardrobe background than it will have from now on.
And it is that almost all the members of the staff have had some kind of problem that has prevented them from working normally and being available for Imanol. David Silva, Oyarzabal, Willian José and Aritz Elustondo have been casualties due to the coronavirus. After, Zubeldia, Zaldua, Merquelanz, Guridi, Illarramendi and Sangalli started the league injured, with different ailments. And during the course of the season they have been falling Gorosabel, Aritz himself, Monreal, also Silva and Sagnan. And then there was the sanction of a game of Robin le normand. Little by little, Imanol has been recovering all the players who were touched, except Luca Sangalli, which continues with its long process of returning to the pitch.
The last to return have been Zubeldia Y Zaldua, who have two games in the starting eleven at a high level of form. Too Silva, who has missed the last two games through injury, is recovered for Thursday's game against Rijeka. And now the one who has to return to the pitch is the captain Asier Illarramendi, who has been with the group since last week after his last relapse. He is expected to be ready to play soon. And Mikel Merino and Aritz Elustondo are also in good condition, despite the fact that they finished the match against him Villarreal. The Navarrese midfielder suffers a significant gap above his left eyebrow, which has required five stitches. And the defender besaindarra ended up with discomfort in his right ankle, which he had already hurt for a long time; but it seems that he does not suffer anything serious. In fact, he did not continue playing and retired at halftime as a precaution, to avoid greater evils. Imanol already has a choice, the infirmary has given him a small truce that will be essential for this December full of games.
