Son Aspas a year and a half later

The Lumbago leaves Jago Aspas on land. He Celtic facing his second ball from stability in you dream beige reference player, handicapped for a long time by back problems. He had to leave the last game before game time and was barely able to practice all week. To this day, his presence on Tuesday against Girona is not even known. “In the last match, he could not contribute from the first minute at his best level due to back pain. It ended badly and he is out of the game,” he confirmed. Carlos Carvalhal.

Iago has not missed a league game since December 2021, when he did not play Majorca (0-0 in a match marked by the wind). That day was the one from Moaña punished after finding out injured and cause fifth yellow. It was in a match against Valencia in Ballads. 10 scored, felt a prick in it kidnapper, he took off his shirt, saw a yellow one and asked for change. Since then, 55 games have passed (21 in 2021/22 and 34 in 2022/23). Aspas was currently a player withn more shares in a row in the league according to data from the Afoutez e corazón Twitter account.

At a crucial point in the season, the Celtics are losing theirs the most determined football player. “He is a player differenceHe, the best I have coached in my career and when one of these players is missing it is a significant loss, but in San Mamés play Celtic and there will be others who will help. Have confidence in all templateand, let’s go with the illusion of winning points,” said Carvalhal, putting the matter on hold.

But the topic is not trivial. Since Iago began downward curve in his performance, the group from Vigo fell into a vortex. With moañés fallow land, the Celts won the game on the last one eight days and come again compromised its durability in the highest category.

The problem is that 10 bottomed out when it did chronic back problems and which go back years, have worsened despite the preventive work that physiotherapists have been doing for a long time. In fact, Carvalhal does not know if he will be able to regain it Girona Tuesday. “To this day, Iago has pain which does not allow you to train; tomorrow, I don’t know. We don’t know how it will be on Sunday or Monday for Tuesday. We have to concentration with the ones we have available», the Portuguese technician limited himself to the words.

Without his top scorer (12 goals), the options are running out align on two nines as he did at Villarreal (Strand Larsen and Haris Seferović), proof of which, despite the defeat, he came out happy — “we had a good offensive production, even though it was an ungrateful game for us” — or left with one point. Then the only place would be played by the Swiss, a specialist in running into space, or Larsen, who holds the ball better. It’s their turn to pick up the gauntlet.
