with the thought set and More worried in the final against Celta on Friday, Elche will face the 16th round match of the Copa del Rey in Ceuta tonight (21 hours)..
Franjiverdes is the clear favorite against a last-placed opponent in Primera REFE’s group I.They’ve only added seven points in their 17 league games this season: two wins and one draw.
Again, The Ceuta team managed to beat the first two knockout rounds of the KO tournament against Utrera and Ibiza.Second division.
The goal of the Elche team is to continue well in the Cup and reach the last 16.. In such a delicate situation that Elche is going through, any win, if not in La Liga, increase morale and self-confidence.
Machín is well aware that the main match this week is against Celta on Friday. The Soriano coach regretted not having the necessary troops to form a completely different line-up than he will be playing against the Galicians last night.. there is only 19 players from the first team.
Injury scourge continues to punish the Elche team. The last drop was Alex Colladanyone. The midfielder, who left Barcelona on loan, did not train with the team yesterday. adductor problems and at least it will be low both at Ceuta tonight and against Celta on Friday.
Pol Lirola already works at practically the same pace as its other counterpartsbut the coaching team decided He didn’t risk it and chose not to travel and stay in training to try to be in a position to call in against the Galicians..
To these two absences we must add the usual ones. josan ferrandez, it will have to wait until the end of January for it to reappear; This John Chetauyawho implement the fibula fissure rehabilitation plan and will not be able to do it until February; Y Nico Fernandez MercauHe is wearing a splint due to a broken wrist and is not available.
The green-green coach called once again in the face of this situation. three local players: Carles Marco with starting options; Manu Cocca and Alejandro Alfaro.
The “one” good news for Pablo Machín, You can now use Argentinian Lautaro Blanco, who has been training with the Elche team for a month, and his file was released yesterday with the opening of the transfer market..
Elche coach will rest and not line up a few key players at the start I’m thinking about the final we play against Celta on Friday. Edgar Badia, Helibelton Palacios, Carlos Clerc, Pedro Bigas, Omar Mascarell, Raúl Guti, Pere Milla, Roger Martí and Lucas Boyé Everything indicates that they will start tonight’s game on the bench in Ceuta.
There will definitely be those who will own it. Gonzalo Verdú and Domingos Quina, who were sent off in the last league match against Atlético de Madrid and they won’t be able to outrun the celtinas.
Starting eleven against Ceuta team tonight, Axel Werner In order not to risk Badia in the target; junior team carlos marco in the right lane, enzo roco, gonzalo gave Y diego gonzalez forming the line of three centers; Y lautaro white in the left lane. He could go out in midfield. chewing gumwho was low and did not play against Atlético de Madrid due to his penalty; Quina and Fidel; with Tete Morente and Ponce when creating the attack.
Leandro and Liberto Beltran
There are two players with a background in the franchise in the ranks of Ceuta. Goalkeeper Leandro Montagud and winger Liberto Beltrán. Both were part of the Elche team’s quarry, during their time in Elche, theyregulars in training and made their debut with the A team.
The game tonight is going to be pretty fun, although the North African town expects another better-ranked First Division opponent than Elche. The previous draw against Ceuta has already gathered 4,000 spectators and a full hall is expected today at Alfonso Morube.
Elche is aware that she cannot fail.. Elimination against an opponent from the first RFEF will be another blow to his fragile morale. In addition, many of the players who will leave the team need to justify themselves in the first place. and keep up with the rhythm of the competition to join the LaLiga cause.
