The youngster asked the change in the duel against the RCD Mallorca by what in principle was considered one overloads, but the follow-up of the medical services has revealed something more. It suffers a muscular mishap in the sóleo of the right leg and will have to follow of drop more time.

The one of Arkel was not summoned against Leganés and Seville, and simply has informed that his evolution will mark his availability.
