Elche faced a notable early setback as they entered the second week of training in Algorfa, with concerns mounting over a serious injury to Tete Morente. The winger’s Achilles issue could sideline him for an extended period, prompting a swift medical evaluation. On Tuesday, doctor Ripoll was set to assess the extent of the problem to determine the likely recovery timeline. Morente has been a central figure for Elche under coach Sebastián Beccacece, making this injury a significant challenge for the squad. The situation heightens the urgency around the potential impact of Fran Pérez, who is finalizing paperwork to join Elche on a one-year loan from Valencia, a move that could help cover Morente’s absence and keep the team competitive as the season progresses.
