Advantage Real Madrid as Super Eagles hopeful star will miss crucial fixture

Getafe boss Jose Bordalas discussed facing Real Madrid without some of their most important players, including Nigeria's Chrisantus Uche, who will miss the game due to suspension. 

Uche, 21, is a midfielder that joined the club in the summer. However, he quickly established himself as one of the most important players in the squad and has been used in different roles across the pitch.

Although extremely gifted and technical, Uche has a feisty side to his game, and in the Azulones last LALIGA outing against Espanyol, he was sent off for the second time this season. 

Hence, he is not available for selection for Bordalas when they host the champions tomorrow. While Bordalas admitted to the difficulty of navigating the match without their absentees, he showed no doubts in his team. 

“We're missing Nyom, Diego Rico, and Uche due to suspension,” Bordalas said, per Marca. “We're not looking at the absences; we're looking at the players we have. 

“We have to give a fabulous performance; we have to be at 110%. We know it won't be easy; Real Madrid is a great club, a great squad with players who can win a game.”

Asked how he plans on setting without Uche specifically, given his importance, Bordalas said, “It's clear that absences are always important for us. We have the squad we have, and any setback isn't good. This isn't the time to lament. I have in mind who will replace him.”
