Héctor Fort
ELC
Scores goal vs. Betis
Fort scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Betis.
Analysis: Fort found the back of the net late in the first half with a shot that was deflected off an opposing defender, and that was Elche's first shot on target in the game. Fort can play all over the right flank, but as a wing-back on a team that's fighting to not get relegated, he's expected to have most of his value as a defensive asset.
Set to return Wednesday
Fort (shoulder) is in line to return for Wednesday's clash against Atletico, according to coach Eder Sarabia. "In principle, Hector returns."
Analysis: Fort has been sidelined since late December following shoulder surgery, making his potential return a significant moment for both player and club heading into the final stretch of the season. The wing-back had been carving out a strong role before going down and should push to regain his starting spot on the right flank once back up to full speed, with Tete Morente having held that role during his lengthy absence. The club will make a final call ahead of kickoff to ensure he is fully ready to feature some minutes against the Colchoneros.
