Lucas advances step by step towards his comeback on Saturday (7:00 p.m.) against Cultural Leonesa after a month away from the team due to discomfort in his left knee. It seems that this week will be the final one after a couple of attempts for the forward to regain his place in the starting team. The footballer from A Coruña completed training normally again and everything indicates that he will be able to play again this weekend.
The sensations are good after he was seen working at the same pace as his colleagues. Until then he had combined individual exercises with some tasks with the group, but without taking the definitive step. His discomfort did not subside, especially when hitting the ball.
That was his main obstacle to reappearing and that the coaching staff and medical services preferred not to take risks with his return. The problems have subsided and yesterday he could be seen in all the exercises proposed by Imanol Idiakez. He was in the finishing tasks practicing the shots and also during the games, although he wore a different bib to avoid tackles by his teammates.
Idiakez would thus recover his most decisive playertop scorer until last weekend when he surpassed him Barber, and creator of a good part of the team’s goals. Until that knee discomfort kept him away from the team before visiting Rayo Majadahonda approximately a month ago, Lucas had participated in more than half of the blue and white goals thanks to nine goals and 16 assists. His numbers represented 53% of the 47 goals scored by Deportivo until his injury.
The forward was one of the field players with the most minutes and had become a key piece of the blue and white resurrection after a first round of the championship in which he failed to score a goal. The team, however, knew how to live without him and has achieved four victories in the four days in which it has not been able to count on its captain. Barbero, Mella and Yeremay They were decisive in his absence.
The canary will not be able to be against the Cultural due to accumulation of warnings. The appeal presented by the club so that the one he saw in Teruel would be void has not been successful and Yeremay will miss Saturday’s game. Most likely, it will be Davo who will replace the footballer on the left wing of the Deportivo attack this weekend.
Villares: “From León we change the chip”
The Leonese Cultural It was the last team that managed to beat Deportivo before the blue and white team began its unbeaten streak. It happened in mid-January, in the last game of the first round. That setback left the blue and white team ten points behind the lead and out of the play off, but since then they have not lost again. “It was the last team that managed to beat us and for that part it can be a good validation. Since that day we changed the chip a little and that can also help in this game now,” said Diego Villares before receiving the Cultural this Saturday in Riazor (7:00 p.m.). The matches at the A Coruña stadium could be decisive for Dépor. Winning the remaining four would ensure promotion. The Vilalba midfielder, however, prefers not to do the math on the points they would need to secure first place. “I prefer not to do them at the moment. We are thinking about this weekend’s game and we will think about the accounts in due time,” Villares assured. Riazor will once again present a great entrance to receive the Cultural, possibly above 28,000 spectators. “We always like the stadium to be full. Having all the support we are getting from the people is wonderful and we notice that a lot,” acknowledged the blue and white midfielder.
