The Balearic forward Xisco Jimenez and the central Madrid David Fernández did not play the derby against Rayo Vallecano and they remain on leave “due to the disease” derived from Covid-19, according to their technician, Juan Antonio Anquela.
The absence of both footballers surprised the eleven potter because, in principle, lyou two were going to be headlines against Rayo and in the previous match the coach himself did not include them in the casualty report, as he did with other players.
“Xisco and David are with the problem and they will have to be unemployed as long as the damn disease requires, “he declared Anchor it, who with those absences loses at a key moment of the season to two of the players who had been more important in the last games.
Alcorcón now has a stretch of three games ahead of them in eleven days. The first against Sporting de Gijón (March 26), the second against Oviedo (March 30) and the last against Cartagena (April 5).
For the first matches it is likely that Anchor continues to have the casualties of Xisco Jiménez and David Fernández, whose recovery depends on their evolution and the protocol of return to competition, and also on the injured midfielders Juan Aguilera and Juanma Bravo.
The qualifying situation of Alcorcón is delicate. After losing the derby against Rayo it has returned to relegation places and is one of the seven teams that, within a range of five points, are fighting for permanence.
