An insight into the plans of Girona head coach Míchel to replace Yan Couto in the club’s next fixture has been provided late this evening.
Girona, of course, are currently going through their final preparations for a return to action on Monday evening.
In their first outing since being put to the sword by four goals to nil at the hands of La Liga title rivals Real Madrid, the Catalans are primed to make the trip to Athletic Club, eyeing a bounce-back result.
In their efforts towards as much, though, Girona will be forced to make do without a key member of the club’s defensive ranks.
After he picked up a 5th yellow card of the season last time out, Yan Couto is in line for a one-game suspension.
How, then, does Blanquivermells boss Míchel intend to account for the absence of his Brazilian starlet?
As per a report from Diario Sport, Arnau Martínez will be introduced in Couto’s place at San Mamés.
Youngster Arnau has impressed when called upon to this point in the campaign, ahead of his 12th La Liga start on Monday night.
