Eric Garcia 'crushes' to get to the derby against Espanyol

Arduous work for Eric Garcia, whose looks aim to the derbi of this Sunday in front of the Espanyol in the RCDE Stadium (21.00 hours). Afterwards to make this Monday splits of his training with the group, this Tuesday decided to attend also to the Ciutat Esportiva to continue with his trainings to put to tone in spite of having festive day to follow with his recovery.

Garcia, of 21 years, lesionó in Granada the past 8 January in the biceps femoral of the right leg ands and diagnosed him five weeks of drop, that fulfil this Saturday, just before the duel in front of the Espanyol. Also they attended to Sant Joan Despí other two players of drop, as Clément Lenglet, lesionado in the biceps femoral of the left thigh but without that the club gave a time estimated of drop, and Sergi Roberto, to the one who subtract him a pair of months.

With the possible return of Eric Garcia, Xavi Hernández will have more elements to choose in the axis of the defence, where right now only has available to Gerard Hammered and to Ronald Araujo, more the option of Óscar Mingueza, in spite of that the one of Saint Perpètua of Mogoda has gone explaining every time less for the egarense and does not play from does more than a month, in Linares.

A big conditioning

The drop by sanction of Dani Alves, after being expelled in front of the Athletic of Madrid this Sunday, can condition the election of Xavi. The most natural solution would be to bet by Sergiño Dest, that already went in for suplir the absence of the Brazilian when it saw the red cardboard by the day 23 of LaLiga in front of the picture colchonero, that finished falling (4-2).

Another of the options for the egarense, although it seems difficult after more than a month of drop, would be the one to give entrance to Eric like companion of Hammered in the axis of the defence and displace to Araujo to the right side, where already played for example in the Sánchez Pizjuán. Nevertheless, since Garcia is of drop, Xavi has opted always by the couple Hammered-Araujo and both has surrendered to a good level.
