Girona's Mijevic Suffers Injury in Match Against Leganes
Forward Sustains Knock in Hard-Fought Draw
Girona FC forward Eldin Mijevic has picked up an injury during his team's 1-1 draw with Leganes on Sunday. Mijevic, who has been a key player for Girona this season, was forced off in the second half after a collision with Leganes defender Unai Bustinza.
Extent of Injury Still Unknown
The extent of Mijevic's injury is currently unknown, and he will undergo further tests in the coming days to determine the severity of the problem. Girona manager Michel was unable to provide an update on Mijevic's condition after the match, saying only that the player will be assessed by medical staff.
Mijevic's Importance to Girona
Mijevic has been one of Girona's most influential players this season, scoring five goals and providing three assists in all competitions. His physicality and aerial ability make him a threat in both the attacking and defensive phases of play.
Girona's Form
Girona's draw with Leganes leaves them in 12th place in the Segunda Division, six points off the play-off places. Michel's team has been in good form of late, winning three of their last five matches. They will be hoping to maintain their momentum when they face Real Oviedo next weekend.
Leganes' Position
Leganes, meanwhile, are in 16th place in the Segunda Division, four points above the relegation zone. Jose Luis Marti's team has struggled for consistency this season, but they will be buoyed by their point against Girona.
