The Elche squad began this week with a focus on preparation for their upcoming Sunday encounter, scheduled for 16:15, against Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena in San Sebastián. After a brief rest last Monday, the session held on Tuesday, closed to the public at the Martínez Valero stadium, emphasized recovery but also laid the groundwork for a sharper performance. On Wednesday, the franciverdes players returned to training under tighter supervision, and the group worked intensively on the Díez Iborra field within the Juan Ángel Romero sports city, continuing the build-up ahead of the weekend clash.
During the club’s latest update, it was noted that two defenders, Lisandro Magallán and Enzo Roco, did not participate in yesterday’s group session due to muscle injuries suffered in their team’s 1-1 draw with Valladolid last Saturday. The team’s medical team confirmed the absence as part of the ongoing assessment of each player’s recovery timeline, with close monitoring expected over the coming days.
According to the medical report issued by the Franciverde organization,
-
Lisandro Magallán is dealing with an injury to the hamstring muscle of his right thigh, an issue that requires careful rehabilitation and gradual reintroduction to full training as the medical team clears progress in the coming days.
-
Enzo Roco sustained injuries to the muscles in his right leg, with the focus on managing swelling, restoring strength, and returning to competitive training whenyar conditions improve.
The squad’s medical staff emphasized that both players felt discomfort during Saturday’s match, and their condition was clarified after additional tests conducted at the Affidea Tesla Clinic. The exact withdrawal period for each player will depend on how their bodies respond to the treatment and ongoing evaluation. Coaches are closely aligning tactical plans with the evolving fitness cards, preparing contingency options should either defender require extra time to return to top form.
