Getafe lose Zaïd Romero and are left short in defense

Getafe CF

José Bordalás will have to change his defence again as he visits Sevilla. The Getafe coach will not be able to count on Zaïd Romero, who has suffered a relapse in his muscle problems and will miss the eleventh matchday of LaLiga.

The setback comes just when the return of the Argentine centre-back seemed close. Romero had started to partially rejoin training with the rest of his team-mates, but the relapse has halted his recovery and will extend his time away from the pitch.

A injury that drags on

The defender has been carrying an injury in his left quadriceps since the match against Barcelona, played on 10 October. In that game, he had to leave the field in the 37th minute after feeling a sharp pain.

Since then, Zaïd Romero has missed league fixtures against Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Club. He was also absent from European matches and from the Copa del Rey tie against Lebrijana.

The Argentine's absence further complicates Bordalás's options in the defensive line, as he will also have Mario Martín and Johan Mojica unavailable, both of whom are suspended. The main positive development will be the return of Djené after serving his suspension.

So, the Getafe coach will have to reorganise his back line once again for the clash at Sánchez-Pizjuán. Gudelj, Djené and the other available alternatives will have to take on responsibilities in the absence of a Zaïd Romero who will have to keep waiting to return to competition.
