One of the most surprising and positive news of the preseason of the Real Zaragoza has suffered a small setback. Diego Monzón, who had been gaining prominence and leaving very good sensations during this period of preparation, suffers a sprain in the external lateral ligament of his right ankle after a sprain he suffered in the last friendly against Villarreal B.
The 18-year-old midfielder already missed last Tuesday’s training session on the team’s return to work as he is waiting for the results of the medical tests and has also not been able to train this Wednesday with the rest of his teammates after the injury was confirmed. Now, his availability is pending the evolution he presents and how his ankle responds over the next few days.
With this setback, the international with Ecuador’s youth team is forced to stop his activity in a preseason where he was establishing himself as one of the biggest surprises of Ibai Gómez’s team. His quality, last pass and precision with the ball have won over a white coach who has given him minutes and participation in pre-season friendlies.
IN THE FIRST TEAM
In this way, Monzón has been leaving flashes such as the assist to Cuenca in the friendly against Utebo and has taken advantage of the opportunities that Ibai Gómez has given him, leaving good sensations and showing that, despite his youth, he can be another alternative for the first team midfield.
Once recovered, everything indicates that Monzón will continue to be part of the dynamics of the first team, although his place will be with Deportivo Aragón so that he can continue to accumulate minutes and experience with the team led by Diego Serrano. Even so, his breakthrough during the pre-season has opened the door to a possible opportunity with the seniors, so, if he maintains the good feelings shown so far, his debut with the first team could come during the season that will start on the last weekend of August.
