Sporting de Gijón Calls Urgent Internal Meeting Following Injury Crisis

Sporting de Gijón manager Nicolás Larcamón convened an emergency internal meeting at El Molinón to address a mounting roster crisis that has left the team with seven sidelined players ahead of their fixture against Celta Fortuna, local newspaper La Nueva España reported.

The decision came directly on the heels of Antonio Casas sustaining an injury that pushed the squad’s medical absences to a critical threshold. Larcamón addressed reporters in the stadium press room following the development, making it clear that he intended to find immediate answers regarding the physical state of his squad before leaving the venue.

Emergency Summons at El Molinón After Casas Injury

The Argentine coach told the assembled press corps that he refused to leave the stadium without examining the root causes behind the physical breakdown of his squad. The loss of Casas compounded an already difficult stretch for the club, forcing the technical staff to confront an injury list numbering seven players just as preparations for Celta Fortuna reached their final phase.

“There is an issue that we clearly have to address,” Larcamón said in quotes reported by La Nueva España. “I called a meeting right now because I don’t want to leave this stadium without better understanding where we are failing.”

Larcamón Reviews Different Types of Player Injuries

While the casualty list has grown substantially, Larcamón emphasized that the club’s medical and coaching staff must differentiate between the various physical ailments affecting the squad. The manager pointed out that not all the current problems stem from traditional muscle strains, requiring a deeper contextual review of training loads, match demands, and recovery protocols.

“It is evident that, in the face of these injury situations, beyond the fact that there are different types because they are not all muscular issues, we have to analyze and contextualize,” Larcamón stated. “We are committed to attending to that matter.”
