Key points
- Vladyslav Vanat is unavailable for Girona due to international duty with Ukraine.
- Oleksandr Pyschur is tipped to start in place of Vanat.
- Both Girona and Real Oviedo enter the match with 21 points after 13 games.
Catalan side Girona are facing a squad dilemma ahead of their Spanish Segunda fixture against Real Oviedo. The club will have to cope without key forward Vladyslav Vanat, who has joined the Ukraine national team for their upcoming UEFA Nations League fixtures. In addition to Vanat, international commitments will sideline Yaser Asprilla and Junior.
Vanat's absence is a significant blow to Girona's attacking options. The Ukrainian forward has been in fine form this season, netting five goals and providing two assists in nine appearances. Head coach Quique Alvarez must now reshuffle his squad, with defensive and offensive alternatives also being weighed for other absent players.
According to reports from Spanish media, fellow Ukrainian Oleksandr Pyschur is the leading candidate to replace Vanat in the central striker role. Pyschur has featured in ten matches across all competitions in his debut season for the club, scoring once, and the upcoming game offers him a valuable chance to prove his worth from the opening whistle.
The 14th-round encounter at the Carlos Tartiere stadium is scheduled for November 14. Both Real Oviedo and Girona have accumulated 21 points from 13 matches so far, heightening the stakes in the race for promotion to the top flight.
