Estanis Pedrola will miss the upcoming Asturian derby this Sunday after Real Oviedo confirmed that the winger suffered a left shoulder dislocation during the closing stages of their match against Sabadell, according to club announcements and regional sports reporting.
Derbi Asturiano Stakes Impacted by Winger’s Shoulder Injury
During the final moments at the Nova Creu Alta, Pedrola scored the lone goal for the blues before dropping to the pitch with the injury. Although he attempted to play through the pain, the joint dislocated again, forcing him off the field prematurely.
Conservative Treatment and Recovery Timeline
Medical evaluations confirmed the left shoulder dislocation stemming from the weekend impact. The club outlined that the player will undergo conservative treatment and has already begun rehabilitation, leaving his return timeline dependent on daily clinical progress. Pedrola missed the opening weeks of the campaign due to a minor pre-season muscle issue following his summer arrival from Italian side Sampdoria, but had recently established himself in the rotation with appearances in the last three fixtures.
Squad Depth Tested Ahead of Sunday Clash
Pedrola’s absence adds to a growing injury list that already features Ilyas Chaira—who also sustained a shoulder issue—alongside Brandon Domingues, Carlos Fernández, and Nacho Vidal. With five first-team players sidelined, preparations at El Requexón have required tactical adjustments, including incorporating youth-system lateral Adri Fernández into training sessions.
