Remains out despite nearing recovery

Mangala (muscle) has been ruled out for Sunday's La Liga clash against Athletic Club despite entering the final stages of his rehabilitation, 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: Mangala will remain sidelined for Sunday's encounter against Athletic Club as he continues recovering from the muscular issue that has kept him out of recent matches. The midfielder had initially been expected to return in time for the fixture, but Bordalas confirmed that he is not yet ready to resume competitive action despite making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation. His recovery appears to be nearing completion, suggesting he could return to team training and potentially become available for selection in the coming days, although no definitive timetable has been established. Mangala joined Getafe on loan from Lyon through the end of the season and is expected to compete for playing time in central midfield alongside Ramon Terrats once fully fit. His continued absence limits Getafe's midfield options, but the latest update suggests he is moving closer to making his return.

Ruled out with muscle discomfort

Mangala (muscle) has been ruled out for Saturday's La Liga clash against Barcelona due to muscular discomfort, according to the club.

Analysis: Mangala will be unavailable for Saturday's matchup after experiencing an unspecified muscle issue, with the severity of the problem and a potential return timeline still unclear. The midfielder joined Getafe on loan from Lyon through the end of the season without an option to buy and is expected to compete for regular playing time in central midfield alongside Ramon Terrats. His absence reduces Getafe's midfield depth against Barcelona, while his availability for the club's upcoming fixtures will depend on how quickly he recovers from the discomfort.
