This Tuesday was added another name to the list of lesionados of the FC Barcelona, Sergiño Dest. The right side of the Barcelona group drags physical annoyances in his right thigh from November, and since seems that these problems only have sharpened , especially from the month of January, reason whereby lights the alarms in the team.
"It is a case that are trying to resolve, has trained, but follows with annoyances. We have decided to leave it it was and it will not go back to the list until it was to 100%. If it is not the Saturday, surely was for the party of Paris", explained the technical Ronald Koeman in previous press conference to the commitment of gone of the semifinals of the Glass of the King in front of the Seville this Wednesday.
Meanwhile, there is a factor verídico and is that there is some mystery on this injury of Dest that since it produced until the moment does not have sanado. Since it felt these annoyances in the last previous training to the crash against the Osasuna on 29 November (4-0), where was to title until in the minute 61 was substituted by Junior Firpo, Sergiño has not been able to go back to be well entirely.
Thrice absent in 2021
Certainly that although Dest already dragged with these muscular annoyances from November, was not but until 18 January that was low by five days for the staff directed by the Dutch, was when it lost the dieciseisavos of final of the Glass of the King in front of the Cornellà (0-2). In that then was just after contesting the final of the Supercopa of Spain against the Athletic of Bilbao (2-3), where only played half part of the commitment because it felt the annoyances, and already had been in the bench of acting in the semifinal of the Supercopa in front of the Real Sociedad.
This Wednesday in front of the Seville, Dest will fulfil his third absence since it arrived to the Barcelona and in the Glass after have not seen minutes in front of the Cornellà neither in Vallecas, when it saw his second drop by the same annoyances in this campaign during eight days (of 25 January to 2 February). Until the moment, the alone North American side has been of drop during three meetings by injury of the 30 that has contested the Barça in this campaign, adding all the competitions. It has played it almost everything, considering that in the last three months has not been of the all well.
When finalising this week, being absent in front of the group hispalense and surely in front of the Alavés, only will add five drops in 32 meetings contested, Sergiño only has been absent with the Barça in front of Cornellà, in The Cartuja against the Athletic and in front of the Ray Vallecano, and took rest in the bench in the semifinals of the Supercopa, against the Elche and the Sunday happened against the Real Betis in LaLiga.
Koeman Does not want to take risks
When noticing that Sergiño does not recover of his annoyances, Koeman does not want to risk and took the decision that he considers the most suitable: keep it of drop until it was totally recovered. It accumulates already three months dragging this injury without being able to replace as it is had to and this could even happen him bill to the right side that hardly has 21 years.
For the Dutch strategist, having the party of turn in the Camp Nou, poses that give rest to the players touched in Seville this Wednesday is a good idea, already thinking in the commitment of eighth of Champions League in front of Paris Saint-Germain. Therefore, Koeman will have to clear his dilemma to play in the Sánchez-Pizjuan: decide if it plants to Óscar Mingueza like head office or like right side while they are of drop Dest and Sergi Roberto, in case of not wanting to range to Junior Firpo, or also could resort to make a new experiment with some canterano in Andalusian earths, what of course would mean a big challenge.
