Leader in blocks, tackles
Affengruber took two off target shots, blocked a shot, made two tackles (winning both) and five clearances during Monday's 1-1 draw with Deportivo.
Analysis: Affengruber finished with the second most clearances on the team while leading Elche in blocks and tackles. The defender should remain a main fixture in the Elche back line following last season's 33 starts across 36 league appearances.
Returns to club training
Affengruber has returned to training with Elche following his World Cup campaign with Austria, the club posted.
Analysis: Affengruber had a quiet World Cup, included in Austria's squad but not featuring at all across the competition. He now returns to Elche, where he remains an essential part of the back line after being a key figure in the club's promotion to La Liga and their survival battle last season, standing as one of the center backs least prone to rotation on the roster. Affengruber made 36 appearances last season, recording 74 tackles, 51 interceptions and 178 clearances, and did so despite Elche not ranking among the division's best defensively.
