not convienced the Spanish medical team the he can recover
in time for the World Cup from his achilles/muscle injury.
Spanish Football authorities have sent the paperwork to
FIFA so as to gain the permission to substitute the player
for another.
That other player it seems will be MARIANO PERNIA, a 29 year
old Argentine who is nationalized Spanish & ex-GETAFE player
who has been signed with ATLETICO DE MADRID for the 2006/07
season.
Pernia was extremely disappointed not to have been called
originally,as he has had a tremendous season with 10 goals-
as a defender! His assets are that he is an attacking left
back with plenty of goal, a fantastic free - kick specialist &
with a fighting attitude.
Pernia who is currently holidaying in Argentina will be on
"standby" in case he needs to do his bags & race back to
Spain.
The Spanish team is training this week in Valencia for their
2ยบ friendly against Egypt this Saturday.
Everyone is therefore awaiting the FIFA OK for Pernia´s
incorporation to be official.
Check out how this left back rockets them into the net.
