And Saúl has been out for two months for the first time in his entire career, a situation that he has not been able to achieve, as the footballer himself admitted a few days ago: «I have experienced the injury with a lot of frustration. Adapt to any situation, I had a very bad time on pre-derby day. The day my teammates trained at the Sánchez-Pizjuán, pre-derby, I had a very bad time, I spoke with the doctors about going to Madrid, because mentally I was not well. “It was very good for me, because I missed everyday life with my colleagues.”
