Real Mallorca’s Portuguese centre-back is a competitive animal looking to make it to the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid (Thursday, January 9) and this is what he claims from Jagoba Arrasate.As this newspaper has learned, Samu has asked the coach to be on the roster because he feels fit after sustaining a significant left foot injury on December 12.
To get his participation in Arabia, a miracle was needed, and the Portuguese wants to make it a reality. Estimated recovery time is 5 to 8 weeksand he hasn’t been injured for even a month. Samu Costa wants to force himself to miss the semi-final and now the ball is in Jagoba’s court… and the club’s medical services, who clearly don’t see him getting minutes.
This newspaper already anticipated that the “Mallorca” footballer was going to try his best to reach the event in Jeddah. and that the goal was to shorten the recovery times to a month, which would have been achieved if they had finished participating in the Super Bowl. Now, yes, these dates show that it is still very difficult. The final decision will be made by Arasate and the first team doctors. This decision may be known this Monday or Tuesday at the latest before leaving for Saudi soil.
