The goal with Quiles must be to make it to the preseason well

Looking at the pictures that were shown on television from the moment Quiles was injured, I have to admit I feared the worst. The way his knee bends makes me think we’re in for a big tearsomething that, after knowing the medical part that Deportivo brings, it is clear that it is minor.

Obviously, as the club rightly says, the rest of the season is wasted. But the important thing is that you don’t have to go under the knife. On an egotistical level, as athletes, it’s an obvious disappointment, because the very day he reappears after a broken face, he goes down injured again and we’re without him for play. But if we analyze it from a football player’s perspective, you have to be half happy, because in these cases it is important to get rid of the surgery.

The key here is that he undergoes “posterior capsule distension”. This means that the capsule has not ruptured, which is the area that surrounds and protects the knee so that the ligaments and meniscus, among other regions, do not suffer damage. When it stayed in distension, which to us was like a stretch in that area, the capsule did a good job of protecting what it was supposed to reduce the injury.

The goal now must be to work on a good adaptation so that he can be able to meet the start of the pre-season. With this type of injury, and we always emphasize that it depends on the patient and many other things, it is normal to talk about two months of recovery. For that reason, we set that pre-season start date, which might be fair, but it could come.
