La Liga
Latest news at Getafe. José Bordalás has left Abdel Abqar, a 27-year-old center-back, out of his sporting plans after a first season marked by injuries and inconsistent performance. The Moroccan suffered muscular problems again at the end of August and remains sidelined at the beginning of September.
José Bordalás no longer considers Abdel Abqar
Abqar's situation worsened during the last transfer window. Getafe sought an exit for the defender and even had an agreement with a Serie A club for an amount close to 5 million euros, but the player rejected the proposal due to economic and contractual conditions.
The rejection had sporting and economic consequences for the blue team. The agreement did not materialize, and Abqar remained in the squad despite Bordalás having already stated that he did not count on him for the season.
The scenario worsened due to a new injury. Getafe's official medical report confirmed a muscle tear in the right leg, initially without establishing a specific recovery period.
This is not an isolated incident. Abqar's injury history includes 11 missed games in the 2025/26 season and another 2 matches absent during the current campaign.

Abqar's signing by Getafe has not met expectations
Abqar arrived at Getafe in the summer of 2025 as a free agent from Alavés and signed a contract until June 30, 2028. The Madrid club highlighted that he had played 56 La Liga games in his last two seasons with the Vitoria-based team.
His first season at the Coliseum ended with 23 League games, 17 starts, 1,437 minutes, and 2 assists, without goals. Injuries limited his continuity during different stages of the season.
The start of the 2026/27 season has also not allowed a change in that dynamic. Abqar played 2 League matches, one as a starter, before being sidelined again due to physical problems.
The injury occurred after a summer with a leading role for the center-back. Abqar took part in Getafe's pre-season but had to leave an exhibition match against Reading early due to a muscle problem.
Getafe needs to resolve Abqar's future
The problem for Bordalás is not limited to sporting performance. Abqar's stay also influenced Getafe's planning during the end of the transfer window, as his salary and contract occupied the space the club intended to use to bring in new players.
The sporting director negotiated his departure with several destinations, including Alavés, Sevilla, and clubs in Arabian markets, in addition to an agreement reached with an Italian team for 5 million euros. None of these options resulted in a transfer.
Now, with the new injury and a contract valid until 2028, the situation is postponed until the defender can return to compete. José Bordalás will have to decide whether to reintegrate Abqar into the first-team dynamics or keep the search for an exit open in the next transfer window.
