Quique Álvarez hampered by absences: Girona host Mallorca at Montilivi

Girona head to Montilivi against Mallorca with coach Quique Álvarez under pressure from absences, after injuries and international call-ups have left the squad short for the clash. As reported by MARCA, Bryan Gil and Fran Beltrán —the latter “very tight on time”— could be available to help from the bench.

There’s also a chance that Pyshchur and Krapyvtsov join the match-day group, provided there are no last-minute setbacks. With the FIFA schedule biting and several players not in top physical condition, the plan points to repeating the XI Girona used in their previous home game at Montilivi, versus Albacete.

That lineup was Gazzaniga; Boñar, David López, Francés, Alex Moreno; Izan, Morante, Carles Pérez; Van de Beek, Sarasa and Abel Ruiz. Mumin, Unai and Portu are mentioned among those carrying physical issues, while Jastin Garcia and Stuani continue recovering from muscle problems. Asprilla, Vanat, Lass and Holmes Junior are away with their national teams.
