The curse of the strikers oppresses cruelly Elche CF in the current season. The Elche team saw how it happened: Negative news has been piling up from the last two weeks of pre-season so far in his attack.
The first was his departure Ezequiel Poncethen walking Pere Milla to Spanish and transfer at the last moment of the summer market Lucas Boyé to Grenade.
The Franjiverde club had to work against time to find replacement players. they came Sergio León and Borja Garcésbut injuries negatively affected their performance and together they could barely feature in the only match against Andorra two days ago.
HE Young football player on loan from Atletico de Madrid He was injured in his first match against Elche. Valladolid. He started and was only on the field for half an hour. had to retire with tear in calf, put him on leave for a month. He returned against the Andorrans and scored the winning goal.
Beccacece was finally able to get his two most important forwards on the roster. A wish that lasted almost a week.
Last Sunday, at Derby against EldenseThe injured person was Sergio León. They barely agreed 26 minutes in the game New Pepico Amat and the Córdoba attacker went down on a play on the wing. He quickly realized the problem. He put his hand on yours back of left thigh -hamstring area- and I had to ask for the change.
The Córdoba striker is awaiting additional medical tests to confirm the full extent of his injury. Everything indicates that he has a fibrillar tear in his left hamstring, so if the bad omens are confirmed, at best, It will need to remain in dry dock for three weeks to a month. A very sensitive absence in a region where Elche was already very depleted of troops.
His substitute against Eldense was: Borja Garcés scored again despite being disallowed for offside He had a good chance in the last part of the match which was blocked by the Barça goalkeeper. Zubiaurre.
The 24-year-old football player from Melilla is very ambitious and active in attack with the few players he can play with.
Borja Garcés with the loss of Sergio León He will have to take on the honor of being the offensive reference of the team. The young player remains the only healthy striker in the squad, along with Mourad.
Oscar Plano He has also been playing a leading role as a second striker in recent matches, but he is not a typical “9”.
Beccacece will again have to settle for bobbin lace, measuring the only two pure attackers on the team and “praying” that none of them get injured.
In addition to the low number of personnel, one of the pending problems of the sector is Franjiverde team could not score a goal in the first 11 days of the championship. Elche are one of the least productive teams in the Second Division’s LaLiga Hypermotion, with nine goals. Only rivals in the east are Huesca next Sunday (16:15), in El Alcorazreceived fewer points (seven).
a situation that causes The sports commission of the Elche club is already scanning the market to sign a new attacker when the winter transfer window opens from January 1.. In the meantime, we will have to endure the curse of the forwards.
