Simon Eriksson stops due to right shoulder tendinopathy

Simon Eriksson has been forced to stop: according to MARCA, the Racing Santander goalkeeper is dealing with a tendinopathy in his right shoulder that’s causing pain and reduced functional ability.

As the outlet reports, the Swedish keeper had been carrying discomfort for the last few weeks before deciding to pause. MARCA adds that the club hasn’t set a specific timeline for his absence yet, and is instead waiting to see how he evolves.

Who covers the spot

While Eriksson recovers, Laro—the player from the Racing B team—will act as the second-choice goalkeeper over the coming weeks. MARCA also notes that Laro already trains regularly with the first team.

In the bigger squad picture, MARCA reminds readers that Eriksson is Racing’s second goalkeeper after the arrival of Agirrezabala.

More absences, next match

MARCA further states that Andrés Martín is another confirmed absence: he has a sprained knee. In principle, per MARCA, José Alberto should be able to count on the rest of the squad for the match against Alavés scheduled for next Saturday.

Finally, MARCA points out that Iker Luque will be available after missing the Rayo Vallecano game due to suspension, meaning he can play against the Basque side this coming Saturday.
