As is usual week after week and year after year, the Competition Committee has not considered the allegations presented by Hércules and, in this case, forward Marcos Mendes will miss this Sunday’s match (12:00 p.m.) in Torrent .
The Guinea Bissau striker was sent off in a grotesque manner against Formentera after seeing two yellow cards in just eight minutes, an accident that coach Rubén Torrecilla regretted in the subsequent press conference because it came when Hércules was overturned. The club appealed the second yellow card because the striker slipped before contacting the goalkeeper, but Competition has not taken this into account and he must serve a one-match suspension.
The absence of Mendes, a regular starter at home, will allow the Argentine Agustín Coscia to continue in the eleven, although it is not ruled out that Torrecilla opts for De la Nava to act as a “false forward” as he has already done in other games away from Alicante . De la Nava was left in the stands against Formentera due to the marking error that cost him so dearly against Espanyol B, but everything seems to indicate that he will return to the list to travel to Torrent in a very important duel because Hércules has had two defeats in a row for the first time in the course.
Torrecilla’s team is preparing for Sunday’s clash on artificial grass and winger Javi Moreno gave the shock of the work session by abandoning it after twisting his ankle. Hercules has not yet issued a medical report, so it is a doubt for this weekend. The former Atlético Baleares player left good details in the final stretch of the clash against Formentera and even pointed to the eleven against Torrent, but his physical condition is unknown.
In the transfer chapter, technical secretary Paco Peña continues working to sign a defensive midfielder and a left back. The first will fill the gap left by César Moreno, now at the Mestalla, and the second will fill the role of Hugo Sanz, who does not count for Torrecilla and is finalizing his incorporation to another team.
