Deportivo Alavés is preparing to reintegrate Jesús Owono into the fold, according to statements from head coach Luis García Plaza.Despite Deportivo Alavés securing its position in the Spanish top flight for the upcoming season, there remains a slim chance of clinching a European spot.
With this in mind, Coach Plaza sees an opportune moment to rotate his squad, affording Owono the chance to showcase his talents between the posts.
Owono, the Equatorial Guinean goalkeeper, has yet to feature in La Liga this season, but that is set to change imminently.
“In the four upcoming matches for Deportivo Alavés, he will be entitled to minutes.
He should even start as a starter, having followed everything from the sidelines until now,” remarked Plaza, emphasizing Owono’s deservingness for a place in the starting lineup.
This news undoubtedly comes as a welcome development for the Equatorial Guinean shot-stopper.
While Owono’s league appearances have been limited this season, he has demonstrated his prowess in the Copa del Rey, keeping a clean sheet in all three of his appearances.
His impressive performances against Deportivo Murcia, Terrassa FC, and Real Betis attest to his capabilities, leaving him yet to concede a goal in the competition.
As Owono prepares to return to La Liga action, he faces the challenge of maintaining his resolute form and further proving his worth on the grand stage.
With the opportunity to feature prominently in the remaining matches of the season, the Equatorial Guinean goalkeeper aims to cement his place in the Deportivo Alavés lineup and continue his upward trajectory in Spanish football.
