The absence of Adrián de la Fuente, known as Dela, was one of the surprises for Levante UD in the postponed matchday 6 clash against Athletic Club. The Granota centre-back, a regular in Luís Castro's plans, was unable to take part due to physical discomfort that kept him from being available.

Physical discomfort keeps Dela out of the starting XI

The Levante defender was carrying some physical issues that ultimately led to his absence in the match against the Bilbao side. An unexpected setback that forced the Granota coach to adjust his defensive plans.

In the end, Luís Castro opted for Aïssa Mandi and Ndukwe as his centre-back pairing, a combination that delivered as Levante won 3-1 against Athletic Club.

Will Dela be available for matchday 10?

The main concern for the managers of Comunio, Biwenger, Futmondo and LaLiga Fantasy is whether Dela can recover for the next game against the Real Sociedad, which takes place on matchday 10.

For now, the exact extent of his discomfort is not known and there is no confirmed recovery timeline, so it is still too early to determine whether his absence will be a one-off or will extend into the coming matches.

Special attention will need to be paid to how he progresses in the next training sessions. Dela is a doubt for matchday 10, although his return is not ruled out if he manages to overcome the discomfort in the coming days.
