The Leganes play tomorrow against him Oviedo (Butarque, 18:15) and will presumably do so with the novelty of Xavi Quintillà in the call for the blue and white. The ilerdense has already more than two months without competing. His last presence was before the Sporting in El Molinón, on September 10.

On the opposite side precisely orbits Quintillà, signed to increase the potential of the left wing before the risk of exit (later confirmed) of Jonathan Silva. Your recent resume (promotion with Norwich) and his offensive profile predicted a tough fight with Hernánde for the position, but an unspecified ailment (the Leganes does not make public the medical reports) have kept him in the dry dock until a week and a half ago, when he began training with his teammates.
Despite this, prudence has commanded the management of Nafti, who has preferred to reserve it. Until yesterday, the scot-Tunisian did not point out this player still owned by the Valladolid as a competitive high, which opens a way for his personal hope and also for the rotation and rest on the left-handed side.
