Elche CF training update reveals two injuries and a surprising absence
Two players were noted as unavailable in this morning’s Elche CF training session. The session, guided by coach Sebastián Beccacece, began around 10 a.m., marking the return to practice after a rest day granted to the squad yesterday. The plan on Monday was focused on recovery drills and getting the squad back into shape ahead of upcoming fixtures. There was a sense of caution as the morning unfolded, with the team aiming to balance intensity with the need to avoid aggravating any niggles.
Two players who were not present in today’s session had also missed Sunday’s match against Amorebieta at Martínez Valero, a game Elche won 2-0. The absence of these two squad members during the training indicates ongoing roster management as the club navigates fitness and squad depth ahead of future duties.

Raúl Guti’s injury was anticipated in both the LaLiga Hypermotion clash and today’s friendly. According to the club’s medical report, he sustained first‑degree injuries to the rectus femoris of his left thigh and to the right femur, with Bastion-style notes on the evolution indicating a gradual return as healing progresses.
What stood out was Álex MartínDíez Iborra’s absence. Beccacece opened the doors to media access, but the midfielder was not with his teammates this morning. Martín is listed with muscular issues that are, for now, deemed mild and manageable.

Meanwhile, the core group of players remained at a normal pace during the session, including the youth squad members. Regulars such as Nordin, Adam, Aliand, Rodri, Pamies, and Jesús López joined the routine, ensuring continuity and leadership on the training ground. The atmosphere remained pragmatic, with focus on technique, recovery, and tactical alignment as the club builds cohesion ahead of upcoming fixtures.
Notes from today’s activity emphasize a balance between recovery work and the maintenance of sharpness among the first-team players and the promising younger players who are stepping up to higher levels of competition. This blend helps Elche CF stay prepared for the demanding schedule ahead and supports ongoing team development. (attribution: JA Galvan)
