CD Leganés forward Sébastien Haller is facing uncertainty for this weekend’s La Liga fixture against Girona after missing Wednesday’s Copa del Rey match due to injury concerns. The Ivorian striker, a key acquisition for the club, has encountered an unexpected setback, sidelining him just as he seeks to make his mark with the Spanish side.
Haller was a last-minute withdrawal from Leganés’ Copa del Rey clash against Ciudad de Lucena after reportedly suffering a minor injury to his rectus femoris muscle.
The club’s medical team is closely monitoring his condition, and his participation in Saturday’s La Liga match at Girona remains uncertain.
According to Leganés officials, Haller’s availability hinges on his ability to participate in the final training sessions today and tomorrow.
This possible absence comes at a challenging moment for Haller, who has yet to score or register an assist for Leganés.
Since joining the squad, he has featured in seven matches, five of which he started, but the 30-year-old has struggled to find the form he displayed at his previous clubs.
His initial performances, compounded by the injury, have delayed the anticipated impact of the forward, leaving him eager to return to action and prove his worth to the Leganés faithful.
The timing of the injury could be especially detrimental to Haller’s integration into the team and his search for confidence.
Leganés, currently working to solidify their position in La Liga, had high hopes for Haller’s role as an attacking force.
His absence could be felt keenly, with the team in need of a consistent goal threat as they navigate the season.
If Haller is unable to recover in time, it would mark his second missed appearance for Leganés.
His absence on Saturday would leave manager Borja Jiménez re-evaluating his options, as the club looks to stay competitive against a Girona side currently performing well in La Liga.
As of now, the club and fans alike are hopeful that Haller’s injury is not severe and that he will be back on the pitch soon to reignite his season.
His progress in the coming training sessions will be critical in determining his status for the Girona match, which has become an important fixture both for Leganés’ campaign and for Haller’s trajectory within the squad.
