The possible loss of Mathías Olivera, that Quique Sánchez Flores knew yesterday, would force, under normal conditions, to place both Jakub Jankto and Jonathan Silva in the lane. It would be a setback not to have the charrúa, yes, but there would be a solution. Now things seem a little trickier for the coach from Madrid.
And it is that, to the doubt of the Uruguayan international, it is necessary to add the sure losses of Jakub Jankto, sanctioned for two games, and of Jonathan Silva, in the dry dock. What could Quique do if that band is orphaned against RCD Mallorca? The idea that Juan Iglesias or Damián change their lane is, today, ruled out and is an option that the coach is not considering.
Koffi’s option gains strength, although the doubts about his competition rhythm, after a long injury, do not make this option so clear. The winger played 45 minutes this past weekend in Getafe B’s duel against Pozuelo and the 90 minutes would still be very long for him. The option of Jorge Cuenca, who already played there against Granada, would also be the solution, but the competition finally does not accept the resource that Getafe put after the red sight in San Mamés.
The next training sessions and days will be key to see if Olivera finally arrives and to test solutions in case the international cannot be in the final on Saturday against Javier Aguirre’s men.
