The Argentine goalkeeper of Rayo Vallecano Augusto Batalla, who withdrew from training last Tuesday due to soreness in his right knee, confirmed on Thursday that he is suffering from the injury and will need “several weeks of recovery” before returning to the field of play.
“It was just a scare. Thank you all for your messages of support. A few weeks of recovery and we will return to the field,” the Argentine informed his followers through social networks after undergoing medical tests.
Batalla’s injury represents a setback for his coach, Iñigo Pérez, who trusts the Argentine as the starting goalkeeper this season and, so far, he has played fourteen official games in the Liga, all as a starter .
In these weeks of Batalla’s absence, it is likely that Rayo’s starter between the sticks will be Dani Cárdenas, his natural replacement and who in recent weeks has only played in the Copa del Rey.
