Four Deportivo Players Yet to Debut as Season Nears One-Third Mark
What happened
Four Deportivo La Coruña players have yet to make their debut with almost a third of the league season completed, according to a report by AS. The newspaper names Barcia, Comas, Ferllo and Parreño as the players still waiting for their first appearance. The report also notes that Asp Jensen and Noubi have dropped out of the picture since the last international break, and that Angeliño has failed to get going.
Report details
The situation is set against the club's planning for the 2026-2027 season. According to AS, the plans of Hidalgo and Fernando Soriano were to keep a short squad of around 22 players so as not to block the path for the Abegondo academy. The market pointed to two positions where signings on the agenda would create a surplus: central midfield and centre-back. The late arrivals of Casadó and Giménez confirmed this, but the outcome differed between the two areas. In midfield, Gijselhart and Charlie Patiño were allowed to leave on loan. In defence, Dani Barcia and Comas chose to stay, which the report links to their continued lack of minutes.
