Iniesta was not physically to tope to play in Anoeta

If Andrés Iniesta did not split in the eleven headline that achieved the big traced back in Anoeta this past Sunday, was not because Ernesto Valverde preferred to give minutes to André Gomes, or at least no only therefore. It was planned that Iniesta played, but when seeming some small annoyances carried to the 'Txingurri' to not risking with the physical state of the captain manchego.

As it advanced 'RAC1', in an information corroborated also by 'Sport', the reason by which Andrés Iniesta did not play neither a minute in front of the Real Sociedad was that it did not find to the one hundred by one hundred physically to play, and less in the meteorological conditions that gave in San Sebastián, with a strong rain, a lot cold and a very physical and conclusive game by part of the 'txuri urdin'.

It was the perfect stage so that Iniesta lesionara, and is thus that Valverde preferred to bet by somebody stronger physically as it is André Gomes, the one who was not of the all hit with the balloon in the feet but yes contributed game without balloon in the pressure, recovery and defence.

"Have a lot of parties now and east had some special conditions with the very heavy field, the rain and other... I have thought that it could go us better with André Gómes by the left band, but Andrés is well, has some problemilla but is well and have preferred that it did not play", explained the own Ernesto Valverde in press conference after the party.

Iniesta himself will be able to play in front of the Espanyol

In this coyuntura, foresees that Andrés Iniesta himself was to the one hundred by one hundred to play next Wednesday in Cornellá-The Prat the gone of the quarter-finals of the Glass of the King 2017-18 against the RCD Espanyol, the one who also foresees that it was a rocky party in the zone of the centre of the field. But Iniesta, for then, already will be prepared to shine to the maximum level.
