Ruled out against Athletic Club
Romero (quad) will miss Sunday's La Liga clash against Athletic Club as he remains in the final stages of his recovery from a left quadriceps injury, according to coach Jose Bordalas. "We hoped they could return tomorrow, but they won't. They are in the last phase of their rehab."
Analysis: Romero remains unavailable for Sunday's encounter against Athletic Club despite making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation from a left quadriceps injury sustained against Barcelona. The Argentine center-back was forced off during the first half of that match and has since been working toward regaining full fitness, recently resuming individual ball exercises Wednesday. Although Getafe had hoped to have him available this weekend, Bordalas confirmed that he still needs additional recovery time before returning to competitive action. Romero has started all seven of his La Liga appearances this season, making his continued absence a significant blow to Getafe's defensive setup. Abdelkabir Abqar could continue providing cover in central defense, while Romero will aim to resume full team training in the coming days. His availability for the next fixture remains uncertain, although he appears to be approaching the end of his rehabilitation.
Resumes ball work during recovery
Romero (quad) resumed individual ball exercises Wednesday as he continues recovering from a left quadriceps injury, according to Gemma Santos.
Analysis: Romero is making gradual progress after suffering a left quadriceps injury during Getafe's clash against Barcelona, which forced him off in the first half. The Argentine center-back remains separated from the main group but was able to incorporate ball work into his individual training Wednesday, marking an encouraging step in his rehabilitation. He has started all seven of his La Liga appearances this season, making his absence a significant concern for Getafe's defensive setup. Abdelkabir Abqar could continue providing cover in central defense while Romero works toward a return, although no definitive timeline has been established for his comeback.
