"Even if I knew as if I were a doctor, I would have to have the injured player's authorization to say it. Jaure's situation is good news; given how it was, the results were the best news."

"I see him well, but the training sessions are not as long as we would like due to the schedule. It interests us that from this week on he already has a match feeling."

Eder Sarabia

"He is having a great campaign at Elche, going with his approach until the end. You can see that the team is convinced by his proposal. It is a risky and difficult-to-counter approach. His teams have a marked stamp and you can tell. Hopefully, tomorrow they won’t have their day."

Match against Elche

"We are in the lead-up to the match, it is tremendously difficult. With Elche, I have a rather bad record; I have never managed to win at San Mamés. It is tremendously important and we have to try to win tomorrow. It will be very contested."

Elche’s level

"We already know the quality Elche has. They always have chances, always go with conviction, and they are showing it this season. The points are not accompanying them, but it is clear they are doing well."

Fighting for Europe

"We are in the second half and everything is definitive. There is no turning back. Everything you gain or lose is a lot. We have an opportunity tomorrow and we don’t look much further. We focus on what we have to do."

Elche

"I see them similar to the first half; I see them well. They are losing matches at the last minute, but they play with conviction and well. There is a lot of equality; we are all very close. You win a match and make a leap; they are not in a good run of results, but they are doing well in terms of play."
