The forward, who has been dealing with a persistent injury, addressed the media on Thursday, just before the team's crucial final.\n\nPuado's absence has been a significant blow to the Blanquiazul attack. His last appearance for the team dates back to January 11th. The injury saga began earlier in the season, with an initial setback occurring in October. He made a brief return at the start of the new year, featuring for a few minutes in the high-profile derby against Barcelona. However, his comeback was short-lived, as he suffered a relapse just a week later during an away fixture at Levante.\n\nThe team's need for his goals and leadership on the pitch has been keenly felt during his extended spell on the sidelines. Despite his personal frustration at not being able to contribute directly, Puado used his platform as captain to project confidence and unity ahead of the final showdown.\n\nThe match in question is the Copa del Rey final, set to take place at the Pizjuán stadium against Sevilla. It represents a monumental occasion for the club and its supporters. While Puado will be watching from the stands, his message to the fans and his teammates was clear and resolute.\n\nSpeaking in the pre-match press conference, Puado stated that the squad is \"100% convinced\" that Espanyol will maintain its status in the Primera División. His comments underline a strong collective spirit within the dressing room, aiming to overcome the challenge of playing a major final without their influential captain.\n\nThe forward's injury history this season has been unfortunate, disrupting what was hoped to be a consistent run of form. From the initial October injury to the setback after the Barcelona cameo and the subsequent recurrence at Levante, his availability has been intermittent at best.\n\nFor Espanyol, the focus now is entirely on the final and the broader objective of league survival. Puado's public backing, even from the treatment room, serves as a morale booster. The team will have to channel that conviction onto the field against a strong Sevilla side without their skipper's direct involvement.\n\nBased on reporting from Fútbol.","news","Espanyol captain Javi Puado, sidelined since January, expresses full confidence in the team's survival ahead of their Copa del Rey final against Sevilla.","326257565400829952","Sevilla","327810658185777153","326135628523638784","Primera Division","327052476089896960","Sevilla vs Espanyol","2026-05-07T11:31:28Z","espanyol-captain-puado-confident-despite-injury-absence-ahead-of-crucial-final","Mundo Deportivo","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mundodeportivo.com\u002Ffutbol\u002Frcd-espanyol\u002F20260507\u002F1004180117\u002Fjavi-puado-100-convencidos-espanyol-seguira-primera.html",[63,68,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88],"326257565195309056","326257565467938816","326257539962376192","326222712592666624","326257537865224192","326257556060114944","326222711653142528","326257808217477120","326222707169431552",[64,69,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98],"Barcelona","Levante","Como","Congo DR","Estoril","Estudiantes L.P.","Spain","Derby","Anderlecht","Espanyol Captain Puado Confident Despite Injury Absence Ahead of Crucial Final",[101,131,158,161],{"awayTeamId":83,"awayTeamName":93,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":102,"homeTeamId":103,"homeTeamName":104,"id":105,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":106,"matchName":107,"publishedAt":108,"slug":109,"sourceName":110,"sourceURL":111,"teamId":112,"teamName":113,"teamIds":114,"teamNames":122,"title":130},"Barcelona sign Anthony Gordon for €80M from Newcastle, a pre-window move marking the first major LaLiga transfer with Racing and Depor's return.","326222712143876096","Portugal","336573227935469569","327115058687512576","Portugal vs Congo DR","2026-05-31T16:21:01Z","barcelona-sign-gordon-80m-laliga-pre-window-coup","Marca","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.marca.com\u002Ffutbol\u002F2026\u002F05\u002F31\u002Fmercado-fichajes-laliga-altas-bajas-rumores-temporada-2026-27.html","326257544051822592","Internacional",[112,103,83,115,116,117,118,80,119,120,121,86,88],"326257545754710016","326257537596788736","326257550938869760","326257556634734592","326257565535047680","326222711682502656","326257695210344448",[113,104,93,123,124,125,126,90,127,128,129,96,98],"Newcastle","FC Porto","Lask Linz","Barracas Central","Real Madrid","England","Signal","Barcelona Sign Gordon: €80M LaLiga Pre-Window Coup",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":132,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":133,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":134,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":135,"slug":136,"sourceName":137,"sourceURL":138,"teamId":80,"teamName":90,"teamIds":139,"teamNames":148,"title":157},"Two-time Ballon d'Or winner Alexia Putellas is leaving Barcelona after 14 years; London City Lionesses offer a larger contract.
