Abdel Abqar
GET
Diagnosed with muscle tear
Abqar has been diagnosed with a muscle tear in his right leg, with his recovery progress set to determine his availability for upcoming matches, according to Getafe.
Analysis: Abqar has already missed two La Liga games, with Zaid Romero and Djene Dakonam lining up together in central defense in his absence, and this confirmed diagnosis now clarifies the nature of his continued absence. His path back into contention will continue to be tracked as Getafe's season progresses.
Ruled out Monday
Abqar (undisclosed) is ruled out for Monday's clash against Celta Vigo, the club posted.
Analysis: Abqar had already been ruled out of the recent match against Osasuna, with Zaid Romero and Djene Dakonam lining up together in central defense in his absence. This continued discomfort now confirms he will miss a second straight match, and his path back into contention will be worth monitoring as Getafe's season continues.
Remains doubtful Monday
Abqar (undisclosed) remains a doubt for Monday's clash against Celta Vigo, according to coach Jose Bordalas. "With Abqar, we still have to wait, he still has discomfort."
Analysis: Abqar had already been ruled out of the recent match against Osasuna, with Zaid Romero and Djene Dakonam lining up together in central defense in his absence. His continued discomfort leaves his status uncertain heading into this match, and further clarity should emerge as Getafe approaches kickoff.
Ruled out against Osasuna
Abqar (undisclosed) is ruled out for Monday's clash against Osasuna, the club posted.
Analysis: Abqar's availability had remained uncertain heading into Getafe's final training session, and this confirmation now rules him out from the game. Zaid Romero and Djene Dakonam figure to line up together in central defense in his absence.
Questionable against Osasuna
Abqar (undisclosed) is uncertain for Monday's clash against Osasuna, according to coach Jose Bordalas. "We are waiting to see if Mario and Abqar are available. We have another short session tomorrow morning and we'll see if we can count on them. Hopefully."
Analysis: Abqar's availability will be determined following Getafe's final training session, leaving the center-back questionable heading into Monday's contest. With his status still uncertain, Zaid Romero and Djene Dakonam are expected to line up together in central defense against Osasuna. Even if Abqar is cleared to feature, the late fitness decision could leave him facing a reduced role.
Clears injury fast
Abqar (quad) played one half of Wednesday's 2-1 friendly win over Tenerife, confirming he is fit to play.
Analysis: Abqar had been forced off with an apparent left quadriceps strain in an earlier preseason friendly against Reading, so his return to action for a half of play is an encouraging sign that the issue was not significant. He had been a regular presence in central defense last season, contributing two assists across 23 league appearances while averaging 3.56 clearances per game, and his workload should continue to build as Getafe progresses through the rest of preseason under manager Jose Bordalas.
Forced off with quad injury
Abqar was forced off in the 22nd minute of Friday's 1-0 preseason win over Reading due to an apparent left quadriceps strain, according to Pablo Sanchez of El Desmarque.
Analysis: Abqar had been a regular presence in central defense last season for Getafe, contributing two assists across 23 league appearances while averaging 3.56 clearances per game. The muscular nature of the issue in just the club's first preseason match is something to monitor closely, and further clarity on the severity should emerge as Getafe continues its buildup under manager Jose Bordalas ahead of the club's return to European competition.
Clears suspension
Abqar is back in contention following his ban in the midweek clash with Mallorca.
Analysis: Abqar has seen consistent minutes in the middle of the back line lately, so he should now be a solid alternative to Zaid Romero and Djene Dakonam, though the former scored a goal Wednesday and the latter could move to the midfield line. While his value is usually limited to defensive output, Abqar has delivered two assists across 21 league appearances this season, and he's averaging 3.3 clearances per game.
Set for suspension
Abqar is suspended for one match due to yellow card accumulation.
Analysis: Abqar is hitting the sidelines just a month after a previous suspension, this time due to his 10th yellow card this campaign. After starting the past two games, this will result in a significant loss. With Abqar out, Djene Dakonam could move back into the defense, or the club could welcome Sebastian Boselli or Diego Rico into the starting XI.
