Braithwaite, the concern of parakeets

Perica fans live in days of renewed hope and confidence that the Espanyol will finally secure a direct ticket to promotion in the ten remaining finals of the championship. The arrival of Manolo González is a ‘high’, renewed confidence to achieve the big challenge despite the cruel blow that came in the draw handed to the extremis against Tenerife on Saturday.

The enthusiasm and desire to believe in the group can be seen this Wednesday at open door training for fans and the Spanish-mandated media.

1,150 parrots, as confirmed by the clubwent to Dani Jarque Sports City this morning to monitor live the work of the players under the command of the energetic and participatory Manolo González. Good connection, feeling and positive sensations were sent from the stands. And, most of all, when the players and coaches approached the fans to share photos, autographs and messages of encouragement with them.

The only blur that ruins the day is lin the absence of Martin Braithwaite, who did not train with the group. Barring a surprise, it will be very difficult to travel to Burgos for the match that Espanyol will play this Friday at El Plantío, another tough test. Note that the top scorer was injured in La Romareda and did not play against Tenerife due to a sprained knee. There are no return deadlines, but a grade 1 injury is synonymous with 2 to three KO matches. So far the Dane has only missed one more and it will be difficult for him in Burgos. Didn’t even see the grass today. Ian Forns, played since Friday, when he aimed to start on the left side against the Canaries.

The good news in the parakeet infirmary they named Ruben Sanchez, which also broke in Zaragoza, but aims to be ok for Burgos. As well as the Brian Olivan and Calero. He also worked hard Keidi Bare who rejoined sessions with Espanyol on Tuesday after playing with his national team.
