Borja Mayoralin front of Getafehas overcome an injury to his left knee and will be called up by his coach, José Bordalás, for the Copa del Rey against Granada where he will likely have some minutes. The Spanish top scorer in Liga last season (15 goals), he barely participated in this campaign in 135 minutes spread over five games (Betis, Leganés, Barcelona, Alavés and Osasuna). After the clash against the Navarrese team, on the ninth day of the match at the beginning of October, he recovered from an injury that he carried since last year and needed three months to recover.
In addition, Mayoral was injured on March 2, 2024 in a Liga match between Getafe and Las Palmas and missed the last eleven games of the Liga final. He had to undergo surgery and also missed the first five games of the blue team this year.
Bordalás, in need of goals this season (Getafe, with 11 goals, is the lowest scoring team in the Liga), has regained the most desirable forward. This summer’s signings intended to replace him (Álvaro Rodríguez and Bertug Yildirim) have not made up for the numbers of Mayoral, who last year accounted for 41.6 percent of Getafe’s goals at the time of his injury.
He ran out of Christmas holidays
Mayoral finished the Christmas holidays and headed alone to the Fernando Santos de la Parra Sports City to complete his recovery and speed up the deadlines for his reappearance. His work has reaped rewards and this Thursday, José Bordalás confirmed in a press conference that he will be included in the squad against Granada.
“Borja may have minutes. Today he trained normally, with the group and with his other teammates. He is a very important player, we really want him back. The team needs him and he is eager to help the team “I hope we get him.” “He will be called, obviously. He has been training normally. Let’s see what minutes he can play tomorrow. It’s good that he is in the group and hopefully he can play some minutes and be useful for the team,” he insisted.
In addition, the Getafe coach will also recover his other injured player, Carles Aleñá, who will also be called up for the match that Getafe will play in Granada. Only Allan Nyom, who asked to travel with the team, will miss out through injury for the clash against the Andalusian team.
