The Valencia He has gone on vacation with five victories (three in the League and two in the Cup), which has brought joy to the locker room. But nevertheless, in the club there are different circumstances to solve so that, facing the second round of the championship, Bordalás can have the wickers necessary to reach one of the positions that give access to Europe next season.
And one of them are the injured that the team has suffered since preseason. And more specifically, the time it took (and some of them are still injured) in working with the group again and being available for José Bordalás. Adding the individual withdrawal time of each footballer, they have been 540 days that the total squad has been without being able to train or play, in less than six months (preseason started on July 7).
Four of them are active cases right now. One of them Foulquier, He has only been out for four days, although he decided to leave Valencia to treat his adductor injury, as revealed by AS yesterday. But nevertheless, there are three most bleeding cases today in the Valencian infirmary. One of them is Toni Lato. The footballer injured himself muscularly (hamstrings) the first week of October in training. Since then has suffered two relapses, the last after playing 17 minutes against Celta and 20 against Elche. From the day he was injured until last Monday, he has missed 70 days of work between training sessions and games.
Another unsolved case is that of Thierry Belt. Your pubic and hip problems they do not finish solving despite the fact that he completed a work session last week. He is not there to compete as he showed that last Monday he was not even called up despite the absences of Foulquier and Wass. It takes 68 sessions of withdrawal. Gabriel Paulista is another of the footballers that suffered a relapse of his injury to the rectus anterior. On November 29, a month after his injury, he decided to treat himself with a specialist outside the club and he still has a week off. Currently he has already missed 51 work sessions or party. The counter for these four players is still running since none will return after the break.
In the others, the injuries have already been overcome although none of them was one recovery too fast. Koba had in preseason a hamstring injury that kept you out for 30 days. In October he fell again and he was without working in the green for 28 days. Alex White He is another of the footballers who was slow to return to the group. Too he was injured in preseason (anterior rectus) and took 60 days to recover. During Oliva’s stay he also fell Little ones, specifically in the first friendly against Villarreal. It took 40 days to return. Was also injured Yunus in a friendly, against Atromitos. He suffered a severe sprain that took him 38 days to recover. Another youth squad who was in first-team dynamics and who disappeared after injuring himself was Diego López (42 days off).
He was also in the dry dock Cillessen. The goalkeeper was injured in the twin and it took 30 days to get back to group dynamics. Another thing is that Bordalás continued betting on Mamardashvili for several more games. What’s more, Gayá had a hamstring ailment and missed 29 days Y Carlos Soler was out 28 working days due to a muscle injury in the rectus anterior. By last, Maxi Gomez was also unavailable for Bordalás in 22 days.
