Viti returns to the Oviedo eleven. The winger from Lavia, who was an indisputable asset for Carrión, will start again after a couple of games out due to muscle problems. The footballer will have to make up for the loss of Lucas Ahijado on the right side of the blue defense, so affected by injuries (Costas, Rodri Tarín and now the man from Oviedo). It is not Viti’s natural position. In fact, he has been playing as a winger for years, although it is true that he already had some minutes playing as a winger.
Playing as a winger will not be new for him. In Oviedo’s match against Elche he had to replace the battered Lucas for almost the entire match and had a pretty decent match, so Carrión already knows what he can give. In fact, he had Sesé as an alternative, but the Catalan preferred to take the “7”. Viti has played in 19 of Real Oviedo’s 20 games this season, of which he started 16. Aside from Leo Román (goalkeeper), and Moyano, Bastón and Bretones, who have played all the games, the player from Lavia is the player with the most minutes on the team. He has not been cautioned so far this season nor has he been lucky with the goal, as he has had in past seasons. He has won 75 duels and is one of the fastest players in the League.
With Cuco Ziganda he played 54 games and scored 4 goals in the 2020/21 and 2021/2022 seasons. With Bolo and Cervera last season he played 29 games out of a possible 42 in a year that included the occasional injury. The youth player made his debut with the first team in 2015, when he overcame the ranks of the youth team helped by his explosiveness and speed to soon head straight into the elite.
He was still a youth when Generelo, Egea’s replacement in the first year of returning to Second, gave him the alternative in a life or death clash (for promotion) against Leganés. He was 18 years old. He repeated the following week, this time as a starter, against Zaragoza. And he closed the season with his third match against Osasuna. The team was left without a play-off, but he had shown that he had the conditions to stay with the majors. Especially because of that devilish speed that he soon seduced Anquela. The new full-back now seeks to make up for his problems in the soleus and once again be an indisputable asset for Carrión for the remainder of the season, either as a full-back making up for Lucas’ loss, or in his natural position, that of winger.
Lucas, down until 2024
Lucas Ahijado is the new fall of the blue team. The Oviedo youth player had to withdraw from the match against Elche in the 22nd minute due to discomfort in his ischium that will leave him without traveling to Villarreal to play tomorrow’s match at the La Cerámica stadium in the last match of the year. Oviedo confirmed yesterday what was an open secret with a medical report in which the club explained the situation of the full-back: “He has undergone medical tests at the Asturias Clinic that confirm that he suffers a muscle injury in the hamstring of his leg right, which will keep him out of the training dynamic. The player has already started his recovery process.”
