Alarm at El Sardinero: Matteo Prati withdraws injured vs Espanyol

Real Racing Club Santander

Matteo Prati had to leave Racing-Espanyol this Saturday with physical discomfort. The Italian midfielder went off the pitch in the 67th minute, when the Cantabrian side were losing 0-1 after Edu Expósito scored. Racing responded with a double substitution, bringing on Iker Luque for Prati and Pablo García for Andrés Martín, although the alarms eased when they saw the Italian running. His exit has sparked concern about the growing weight he had been carrying in midfield, pending an official medical report that will determine the extent of discomfort that, for now, casts doubt on his presence in the team’s next fixtures. Shortly after he left, Jeanuël Belocian signed the 1-1 draw with an assist from Sergio Canales.
