Andrés Cuenca trains with the group as Sporting face Girona
Sport reports that defender Andrés Cuenca has returned from the sidelines to train with his teammates ahead of Sporting–Girona.
Sporting Gijon continues its build-up for this Saturday’s home match vs Girona at El Molinón (16:15), and Sport says there was a welcome update from the medical room. After starting the week with Andrés Cuenca working apart, the Córdoba centre-back was seen at the start of training alongside the rest of his teammates.
Back in the picture
This suggests Cuenca has a window to feature again in the starting XI in the next game. The same report adds that he has been important recently as well, being key in the team’s last two wins, against Burgos and Tenerife.
More absences
Not everything was positive. Manu Rodríguez is listed as a late withdrawal after an incident at the Heliodoro, and Hugo Guillamón and Andrés Ferrari will also be missing.
With Cuenca now back in group training, Sporting’s selection for the match against Girona will depend on the remaining fitness checks and how the team reshapes itself with those absences.
