Oier Luengo a fresh worry for Burgos after 3-0 loss | OneFootball

Burgos lost 3-0 at home in their official presentation against a team from Bizkaia, but the main concern was centre-back Oier Luengo, who went off after 15 minutes in clear pain.

He is awaiting tests to assess the damage, as.com reports, leaving new head coach Sergio Francisco with an unwelcome worry less than two weeks before the campaign starts.

After the match, the Donostia-born coach voiced hope it was only a scare and that he could include Luengo for the opener at El Plantío against Córdoba on Sunday, 16 August.

Francisco does have cover at centre-back, with Grego Sierra, Sergio González and Saúl del Cerro available, plus academy defender Iván Martínez, a regular in pre-season.

Burgos have lost five regular starters from last season and added Javi Llabrés, Dadie, Luengo on a permanent deal after last year’s loan, and Gragera. Further signings are expected to offset exits for Atienza, Morante, Íñigo Córdoba, Florian Miguel and Fer Niño, who has joined Elche.
