Getafe FC’s performance improved significantly in February and March 2026, setting the stage for a crucial match against Athletic Club. However, the team will face this challenge without star player Kylian Mbappé, who has been sidelined due to a left knee sprain. The Real Madrid medical team has stated, “His progress is pending.” This absence could impact Getafe’s strategy as they prepare for the match scheduled for 14:00 CEST on Sunday.
In a notable development, Getafe has secured the permanent signing of Martin Satriano from Olympique Lyon. The club announced, “El Getafe CF y el Olympique de Lyon llegan a un acuerdo para el traspaso de Martín Satriano.” Satriano has signed a four-year deal that will keep him at Getafe until 2030.
Since joining Getafe, Satriano has made a significant impact, scoring three goals in 10 La Liga games. His contributions include crucial winners against Villarreal and Real Madrid, showcasing his potential to be a key player for the team.
Ernesto Valverde has named a 24-man squad for the upcoming match against Athletic Club, emphasizing the importance of depth in the squad, especially with Mbappé’s absence. The team’s recent form has been encouraging, and they will look to build on that momentum.
The deal for Satriano included an option to buy for €6.5 million, reflecting Getafe’s commitment to strengthening their roster. As the team prepares for the match, fans will be eager to see how Satriano and his teammates perform without their star player.
As the match approaches, observers are keen to see how Getafe adapts to the challenges posed by Athletic Club. The absence of Mbappé may require adjustments in tactics, but the team’s recent improvements offer hope for a competitive performance.
With the match day nearing, all eyes will be on Getafe FC as they aim to continue their upward trajectory in La Liga. The outcome of this match could have significant implications for their season, especially in the context of their recent signings and performances.
