According to Sport, Tenerife midfielder Jesús Álvarez could be sidelined for over a month due to an injury, although the club has not yet officially confirmed the extent of the injury. Manager Álvaro Cervera stated that there is no other player in the squad with similar characteristics.

Álvarez started alongside Juanjo Sánchez in midfield for the first four matches of the season, playing all 90 minutes in the first three. He suffered the injury minutes into the match at Zubieta. The Aragonese player felt sharp pain in the back of his right thigh, below the glutes, while stretching to intercept a pass.

Cervera said in the post-match press conference: "It's a posterior strain, fairly common, but he couldn't continue. We hope the injury isn't too serious, but he'll likely be out for at least a few weeks."

He then spoke about Álvarez's impact on the team: "This doesn't just affect the match, but also our immediate plans. For us he's an important player and there's no one else in the squad like him. Someone can play in that position, but with different characteristics. It's a shame."
