Manager of Cadiz Sergio hopes that the return of Victor Chust to good physical form will inspire his injury-plagued team to survive in the tough La Liga season. The Yellow Submarine has been besieged by a growing list of absentees, which was joined by Fali last Friday, who limped off due to a problem with his knee tendon in the game against Espanyol (0-0). He was replaced by Chust, who, according to Sergio, gives the team a “sense of strength.” After 30 rounds of the current championship, the hosts have recorded seven wins and 11 draws, which corresponds to 32 points and 15th position in the standings. Today, Fali, Cala, Escalante, Garrido, Ocampos, and Zaluda, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play.
History shows that poor form can be used by the guests from “Osasuna”, who have won a stunning 11 victories in the last 13 matches between the two teams in all competitions. The guests undoubtedly hope to use this record in their race for what would be their second victory in the last ten away matches in the Spanish Championship. Despite the lack of wins, the team of Jagoba Arrasate remained unbeaten away from home: their total number of draws on the road is already seven, which is the highest among all La Liga clubs after the last round. They also achieved a great home victory over “Betis” with a score of 3-2 on Saturday, after which the boss stated that his team “is going to live for something historical”. Today, Toro, Garcia, and Brasnak, who has a knee injury, will not be able to play.
