García Pimienta celebrates having the emptyest infirmary now after the first few months of the season in which he has had numerous absences due to injury. If there are no more setbacks until next Monday, the Catalan coach could hardly stop having Chidera Ejuke and Tanguy Nianzou at his disposal since Nyland is expected to be at the coach’s disposal from this Thursday. Saúl Ñíguez will be ready to play again, a footballer who arrived in Nervión in the summer with the clear intention of recovering his best version and who has barely had opportunities to play between one thing and another. And the fact is that Saúl has only been able to have minutes in four games this season. He missed the first match against Las Palmas due to a suspension he carried over from last season with Atlético de Madrid. He also could not be in the matches against Girona and Getafe due to having been sent off during the duel against Mallorca and was absent. in the last eight official matches (seven in the League and one in the Cup) due to the “high-grade injury to the femoral biceps of the left thigh” suffered at the end of September and from which he now appears to be fully recovered. recovered.Saúl, like Sevilla, wants to go back to being what he was. The Elche midfielder, an absolute international, is in full harmony with the club he now represents after leaving Atlético de Madrid, and is eager to be able to show his best level on the pitch. Such is his intention to leave his mark on Nervión that he has been designated as one of Sevilla’s captains for this campaign. García Pimienta has barely been able to count on all his captains in a game since the season began and now, if nothing goes wrong, he will be able to take advantage of that extra in the locker room and on the pitch again for the duel against Osasuna. Jesús Navas, Suso, Gudelj, Saúl and Marcao are the five captains of a squad that will be orphaned by Navas sooner rather than later.Captain inside and outsideSaúl already knows what it is to wear the captain’s armband of Sevilla and beyond this circumstance symbolically, the footballer has carried out other types of gestures with which he wanted to show that he assumes the responsibility of acting as a leader in a rejuvenated group after the summer. Without going any further, the midfielder asked García Pimienta last Sunday to be called up for the match against Rayo Vallecano despite the fact that he was aware that he was not yet in the appropriate physical condition to play and therefore his presence on the bench It would be more than anything testimonial. Saúl has also been using social networks to show his desire to succeed and to lead the new Sevilla project. He has been interacting with his followers and after the defeat against Girona in Nervión (0-2) and with Sevilla having added just two points out of a possible twelve, the footballer wanted to calm the waters and ask for patience for the squad and the coaching staff, ensuring that although he understood the criticism, “it is not the best time.” «I trust the work the team is doing. “It’s a matter of time,” added a player who knows that the club’s credit is also his own. Shortly after, he received a hard blow when he was injured and therefore missed more than two months of the season and, after the game against Valladolid, he assured that he would face his recovery “in the best possible way” despite the fact that “it is helpless and it hurts.” » . “Support for the club is fundamental and necessary,” said the player who turned 30 last week and who, despite being on loan at Sevilla, has many options to remain linked to the club beyond next June. After barely having worn the Sevilla shirt in just over 300 minutes in an official match, Sevilla fans hope that Saúl will now continually demonstrate the expected level on the pitch. García Pimienta will finally be able to have all the pieces of his midfield at his disposal and will have the ability to choose that he lacked on so many other occasions during this season. Saúl is called upon to lead a team that in the last month has been receiving the best benefits from Sambi Lokonga, a player who, due to his good work, has once again been taken into account by the Belgian team.Juanlu has been one of the resources that the coach has been using during the season when Saúl, for the reasons explained above, has been absent or when Lokonga and Sow have also been absent due to injury. Agoumé is now able to be lined up again after his suspension although he has lost credit. All of them, in addition to Gudelj, are now at the disposal of the coach who will have to solve the puzzle for the team to function optimally and be able to add three points against Osasuna at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán and link two consecutive victories that make Let calm reign, at least as far as qualifying issues are concerned.
