Quique Setién: “I’m expecting a very even match against Alavés”

“We’ve got players who can step in to take the place of Roque Mesa, and although he is a key player we shouldn’t be unduly worried.” “Prince will be doubtful right up until kick off”

There are no reactions yet. Be the first!

We are trying to adapt to the cold, as we have to. Prince has been working out in the gym, and we shall see tomorrow if he can make it. The player has got some pain, and it is not easy, tomorrow we will take a look at him”, declared the yellows’ manager, with reference to tomorrow’s clash in Vitoria.
“We have several players with knocks, Lemos is the one I am most worried about, he got a knock in the mouth which required seven or eight stitches. Aythami also has a strain”, he lamented.

“We have got a substitute for Roque Mesa. There players here who are perfectly capable of playing in his position. They may not be fully match fit, but they need to get into the rythm, so I don’t think it will affect us too much, even though Roque is a really important player. We will try to keep hold of the ball, but it won’t be easy, and there will be moments that we will have to suffer. They are a tough and intense team who know what they are doing. I am expecting a very even and hard game. They have quality and some quick players, but we are strong too so it will be a balanced match”.
