Elustondo working alone, a week out from Kyiv
Aritz Elustondo is racing to be fit. The centre-back is on an individual training programme, trying to shake off a right-leg injury ahead of the Europa League qualifier against Dynamo Kyiv on 23 July (1). That is six days from now. Despodov, Meïté, Chatsidis, Kottas, and Shoretire were also mentioned in the same medical update, but the headline name is Elustondo. He is the one your backline cannot easily replace.
