One more week, injuries are wreaking havoc on the Cordoba team. Up to six players from a restricted squad (22 players) are struggling to travel to Granada next Sunday. This was confirmed by Iván Ania in the press room. The Asturian coach It will be difficult for him to form his best eleven playing at Los Cármenes among injured players, others recently recovered from muscular problems and those who need rest. The intensity increases with each passing day in the Second Division and the pace is frenetic each week.
In the press room, Iván Ania announced the team’s death toll. On the one hand, there is the case of Kuki Zalazarwho is yet to make his debut for the green and white team after breaking his calf in the middle of pre-season. The Asturian commented that “there is still one training session to do, but in principle it will be available. “This week he trained normally as one more and worked with the group.” However, he does not aim to be a starter since he has been unemployed for several months, since the final of the promotion play-offs in the Second Division against Barcelona B.
About Carlos Isaaccommented that “it could come”. According to him, “we will wait until the last training, but the tests carried out indicate that the injury is almost healed.” The full-back had already missed his reunion last week against Albacete, his former team, due to an injury, no details of which have been revealed. The club is betting on does not offer medical reports players. It will once again be the turn of Carlos Albarrán, who was untouchable for Iván Ania at the start of the championship, with the exception of the match which he missed following nose surgery.
The two players who will not arrive and will be safely away are Mati Barboza and Adilson although Iván Ania highlighted the good news of Kuki’s recovery. Since he was dropped against Racing de Ferrol at the last minute (a few minutes after his start), the Portuguese winger has not managed to get back up. On the other hand, the young defender was away from training. He doesn’t play a prominent role in Iván Ania’s game, but he’s a good replacement when the usual starters like Marvel and Lapeña aren’t present today.
In addition, Carracedo was the big absence this week in training. Iván Ania clarified that “he was not training because ultimately, with those who are from last season, we want to have a little margin in the sense of giving them rest. They had very little vacation and we are already accumulating minutes, we have more than 700 minutes and At the 1,000 barrier, the injuries begin. Since we can’t remove him from games, we will try to remove him from practices. “He had some discomfort and we decided not to practice.”
The last player among the cotton growers is Calderón. The Sevillian full-back had already missed last week’s match due to the flu. It was the reserve team’s winger Álex López who occupied the left-handed position because the team no longer has any replacements in this position. Even though Iván Ania suggested last week that Calderón was absent due to rest although later the flu process he was experiencing became known. It seems that he is already available to play in Granada, at Los Cármenes.
Just as Carracedo or Calderón were rested because they are players with many minutes under their belt, other players could follow their path like Antonio Casas, Carlos Albarrán or Adri Lapeña. Untouchable players for Ania who have played everything, between last season and the one which has just started.
