Deportivo puzzle after injuries to Aubameyang and Eddahchouri

Deportivo A Coruña are working against the clock after losing two key attacking pieces. According to Mundo Deportivo, coach Antonio Hidalgo first lost Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and, with no time to absorb that blow, also suffered the setback of Zakaria Eddahchouri through injury. The impact is significant: Aubameyang is the team’s main star and was in top form, while Eddahchouri had become a valuable option in the attacking setup when the Gabonese wasn’t available.

Two absences, one reshuffle

The medical update provided by the paper is decisive: Aubameyang has already undergone surgery this Thursday for a meniscus problem. With that timeline in mind, Hidalgo has to rearrange the offensive plan.

Mundo Deportivo’s first alternative is Bil Nsongo. The outlet suggests that, barring surprise, the Cameroonian could become close to an automatic starter for the duration of Aubameyang’s absence, building on the breakthrough he had last season before Deportivo secured promotion to Primera.

Tactical options up front

The second possibility involves moving Jonathan Asp Jensen forward. The Danish winger, who has so far played fewer minutes and more often from the left flank, could shift into a more central role, offering a different profile with greater ability to link play and arrive between the lines. Mundo Deportivo even hints that he could form a partnership with Nsongo.

Finally, the article considers another route that keeps the structure but changes roles: Mario Soriano could step up to the number 10/second-line position, while Riki Rodríguez would enter to create a double pivot alongside Amatucci. The idea, as the paper frames it, is to keep Soriano near the box where he can be dangerous.

Mundo Deportivo also points to a potential beneficiary: Yeremay Hernández. The outlet notes that he has struggled to break into the starting XI so far, but the new scenario makes it more likely he will become a stronger option on the left side of the final third.
