Returns to squad against Lugano
Azon (undisclosed) is back in Getafe's matchday squad for Thursday's Conference League clash against Lugano after recovering from a recent injury.
Analysis: Azon returns to Getafe's matchday squad after missing the Conference League encounter against Universitatea Craiova and Monday's La Liga draw against Rayo Vallecano due to discomfort. The striker resumed full team training Wednesday and is now available for selection, although his recent absence could see him eased back into action off the bench. He has recorded one goal and one assist across five appearances this season, including four starts, and could compete with Borja Mayoral for playing time up front. His return provides Getafe with an additional attacking option ahead of Sunday's La Liga clash against Athletic Club.
Returns to full team training
Azon (undisclosed) resumed full team training Wednesday after missing Getafe's last two matches, according to Gemma Santos.
Analysis: Azon has recovered sufficiently to complete Wednesday's training session without restrictions after missing the Conference League encounter against Universitatea Craiova and Monday's La Liga draw against Rayo Vallecano due to discomfort. His return provides Getafe with an additional attacking option ahead of a busy schedule, with Thursday's European fixture followed by Sunday's league clash against Athletic Club. The striker has recorded one goal and one assist across five appearances this season, including four starts, establishing himself as a regular contributor in attack. Azon could compete with Borja Mayoral for a starting role, although his recent absence may lead to a cautious approach regarding his playing time.
Dealing with discomfort
Azon was not with the team for Thursday's 1-1 tie against Universitatea Craiova in Conference League play due to discomfort.
Analysis: Azon was not able to travel to Romania for Thursday's contest, left off the squad list completely due to some discomfort. The unfortunate news is that he is yet to rejoin the collective training, seemingly set to miss more time as they head back into league action. He has started in four of his five appearances this season while earning one goal and an assist, so this does force some change for the club. If he continues to miss time, Borja Mayoral is set to be their top option at forward due to numerous injuries. However, Enes Unal (undisclosed) seems to be close to a return.
One goal in win
Azon scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Malaga.
Analysis: Azon scored the matches only goal during Sunday's win. He deserved that goal after taking four shots and putting three of them on target. The forward is a threat going forward, though he generally needs to be more efficient, as this was one of the most favorable match on the schedule.
Assists in first start
Azon assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Deportivo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 26th minute.
Analysis: Azon marked his first start for Getafe with an immediate goal contribution, setting up the opener against Deportivo on a night when he looked at home in the side. Partnered with Enes Aoenal up front, he was one of the main outlets in attack and finished with one shot and two chances created. His side could not hold on to the lead, though the forward gave a good account of himself and may have made a case for further minutes.
Joins Getafe on loan
Azon has joined Getafe on a season-long loan from Como for the 2026/27 campaign.
Analysis: Azon returns to Spain after spending last season on loan with Ipswich Town, where he recorded five goals and four assists across 38 appearances in the Championship. The 23-year-old striker previously accumulated significant experience with Real Zaragoza, totaling 25 goals and nine assists in 144 Segunda Division appearances. Azon should compete for regular minutes at the point of Getafe's attack as he looks to establish himself in La Liga.
Returns to Como
Azon will return to parent club Como after helping Ipswich Town secure promotion back to the Premier League, the club announced.
Analysis: Azon made 38 Championship appearances including five goals and four assists across the campaign in what was a solid contribution to Ipswich's second place. Azon brought pace, directness and a reliable goal return from the right flank that made him a useful option throughout the promotion push, and Como will now assess his future having seen him develop further at Championship level.
