FC Andorra's Gael Alonso Out 4-5 Months After Tibial Fracture Surgery

FC Andorra defender Gael Alonso will miss four to five months after successful surgery on Friday for a tibial malleolus fracture suffered in training.

The centre-back, a key figure in the team's defence, underwent the procedure in the afternoon as scheduled. Club medical staff are now overseeing his recovery with a personalised programme, though the precise return date will depend on progress.

Alonso's absence represents a significant blow for the Tricolours. In his professional debut last season in LaLiga Hypermotion, the player featured in nearly every match, emerging as one of the category's standout centre-backs. He impressed defensively while also scoring twice.

To fill the gap, Argentinian Lautaro Spatz is due to step in, though the sporting directorate will assess whether to sign another defender.

Medical projections indicate Alonso will not return before late this year or early 2027, sidelining him for the early stages of the campaign. The club has shared no additional information about the training incident that caused the injury.
