Bad news in the Ciudad de Huelva infirmary. The Basque player Unai Barandalla, who recently joined this season, had to retire in the friendly match against Melilla due to discomfort in his right knee after slipping in one of the plays.
After being subsequently treated by the club’s medical services, the diagnosis is finally serious and complicates his situation by requiring surgery. The subsequent recovery period will be long although the player has shown his intention to do the physical preparation and readaptation necessary to join the team as soon as he is recovered.
For the team and the club it is a splash of cold water on their expectations since Unai was one of the players called to lead and stand out in this FEB Second League. The club and his teammates regret his situation and show him their maximum support at this time, that his operation goes without complications and a speedy recovery to be able to have him at least in the final part of the competition.
The club has shown the player its interest in renewing his contract for next season as a show of support for a player with great projection in the category.
