Mallorca is looking for its second consecutive victory against a Girona in suspense without Stuani

MADRID, 2 Sep. (EUROPA PRESS) -

Real Mallorca will try to consolidate its good moment after opening its victory locker last week in a direct duel at home against one of the recently promoted, Girona, who arrives conditioned after learning that their captain and great star, Christian Stuani, will have to stop for a month due to a benign cardiac arrhythmia.

The Uruguayan felt unwell during the week and, after undergoing tests, he found the alarming diagnosis, although he is not in danger. His coach, Míchel Sánchez, explained the situation at a press conference to reassure his fans. "Thank God at the health level he is perfectly fine and they have reassured us all with the tests they have done. It is part of the heart of Girona and it beats, it beats strongly," he declared.

Now he will have to be off the pitch for at least a month, a loss that joins those of the injured Borja García, Ibra Kébé, Iván Martín, Ramon Terrats, Valery and Yangel Herrera, who will not be available against Mallorca either. Given the barrage of casualties, the Madrid coach has directly quoted the players signed on the last day of the market.

Both the goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga and the midfielder Oriol Romeu and the wingers Manu Vallejo and Toni Villa have entered the list and could even make their debut in a short-handed team that could suffer from the loss of their benchmark. In addition, they arrive after losing at home against Celta in the last game.

For its part, Mallorca began to smile last day, when they won their first game in the league beating Rayo Vallecano at home thanks to goals from their pair of strikers, Vedat Muriqi and Kang-in Lee. Javier Aguirre's men now receive a direct rival for the a priori salvation, so the victory will be important for them.

They arrive at the meeting with Amath Ndiaye, Angel Rodríguez, Baba and Dominik Greif out due to injury, and with the possibility of their two new signings making their debut, African striker Tino Kadewere and veteran central defender Matija Nastasic.
