Munir debuts for Albacete and gets injured after 17 minutes

Munir el Haddadi’s signing for Albacete was one of the notable surprises of the summer market in Spain’s Segunda División, as Mundo Deportivo notes, though it adds that he had been six months without playing. The former Barça man finally got his chance to start.

Quick debut vs Oviedo

Munir made his first appearance with Albacete this Saturday against Oviedo, but he was on the pitch for only 17 minutes. According to Mundo Deportivo, he felt discomfort and had to be replaced by newly arrived Agustín Albarracín.

The timing couldn’t have been worse for the visiting side: as the same outlet reports, the Oviedo managed to secure the win, while Albacete continues to struggle.

A further setback for the ‘Alba’

Beyond the early injury, Mundo Deportivo highlights that Albacete still hasn’t won yet this season. The article also points out the team’s recent results have not gone their way, including a loss by a narrow margin.

The big question now is the medical update and how long Munir will be out. The piece suggests that the lack of recent minutes may be a factor, so a quicker return is possible—but nothing is confirmed yet.
