Nuri Marguí/Girona FC

He Girona returned to work on Tuesday after a three-day vacation. He did it still under minimum because the international players were competing or had not arrived. Yesterday, however, Míchel was able to count on Daley Blind, Arnau Martinez i Pablo Torre. For today, the club hopes that the last ones who played international matches on Tuesday will arrive, Artem Dovbyk, Yan Couto i Yangel Herrera. In the case of the Brazilian and the Venezuelan, it will be necessary to see if they arrive in time to be able to train with the group. In principle, it does not seem that Girona has been affected by the FIFA virus and neither are the six players arriving loaded with minutes. And it is that the one who has been squeezed the most in this stop has been Dovbyk with one hundred and sixty-six minutes in two games. At the other end is Blind, who has not played a single minute in the two games they have had Netherlands contra France and Greece.
