Seeing the panorama, the present and what is about to arrive, Bernat Canut prefers to choose to be practical and does not want to complicate life. The squad is not yet complete, because players are missing: either they must join the group dynamic or another piece needs to be signed. So why force the machine and make Laura Cornelius play tomorrow at Platja d’Aro? The Dutch defender has been suffering from a minor muscle injury in his left thigh for two weeks. He did it while training and in Tordera, on Sunday, September 4, he only lasted a few minutes on the court seeing that he was in pain. Since then it has not appeared again. Very soon, the first official title, La Lliga Catalana Femenina, will arrive on September 30 in Fontajau, and it is here that Canut hopes, then yes, to be able to count on Cornelius.
Therefore, tomorrow at noon, he will not play against Barça CBS. Because the base is not at one hundred percent, above all, and because he does not want to risk losing it for longer, especially seeing the few players he has at his disposal. Neither Gardner nor Tolo will be there yet, who will join next Tuesday and in October, respectively. It will be time again to look down and strengthen the rotation with younger people. “We will be the same as in the last match because Laura (Cornelius) is not yet to play. We will count on the girls from the quarry and also a possible Tordera player to complete it.” This is how Bernat Canut explains it, who has his neck down that tomorrow’s test will be “very demanding in terms of pace” and that is why he needs a wide bench. “We don’t want to punish the players of the first team by accumulating many minutes. We will not look at the match in a competitive way, but as another training session. What we will have to do is tire ourselves out and test everything we have been working on.” Cornelius will watch from the outside.
