Elche CF Injury Update and Squad Depth Ahead of Mallorca

Elche CF continues to wrestle with a string of injuries that has unsettled the squad in recent weeks. The growing list of absences behind the scenes has made every training session and matchday feel like a test of depth and resilience. Lucas Boyé, who was expected to contribute in the forward line, could not participate in the clash with Real Sociedad. He remains sidelined for at least a month because of a fiber rupture in his adductor muscle, a setback that not only deprives the team of a versatile attacking option but also forces tactical shifts as the calendar advances toward important fixtures. The situation is complicated by a recent narrative around Guido Carillo, the player who stepped into the No. 9 role when Elche faced Donostiarras. Carillo had to withdraw from the game in the 42nd minute due to lingering muscle discomfort, a reminder that the road to full fitness for front line players can be a fragile one. While the medical team monitors his condition, there is cautious optimism from the club’s medical briefings that the issue may not be a full pull, which would mean a shorter recovery window. Still, the prognosis for his involvement in the Mallorca match remains uncertain, underscoring the delicate balance between rehabilitation and competitive readiness that coaches must weigh as they prepare for upcoming duties on the pitch.
