Abdel Abqar - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Clears suspension Abqar is back in contention following his ban in the midweek clash with Mallorca.

Impact Abqar has seen consistent minutes in the middle of the back line lately, so he should now be a solid alternative to Zaid Romero and Djene Dakonam, though the former scored a goal Wednesday and the latter could move to the midfield line. While his value is usually limited to defensive output, Abqar has delivered two assists across 21 league appearances this season, and he's averaging 3.3 clearances per game.

Set for suspension Abqar is suspended for one match due to yellow card accumulation.

Impact Abqar is hitting the sidelines just a month after a previous suspension, this time due to his 10th yellow card this campaign. After starting the past two games, this will result in a significant loss. With Abqar out, Djene Dakonam could move back into the defense, or the club could welcome Sebastian Boselli or Diego Rico into the starting XI.

Returning from suspension Abqar has served his ban and is an option for his club again.

Impact Abqar was out for two games through a ban but is set to play again, returning to face Levante. He has started in four of his past five outings but has been hindered by injuries this season, only starting in 12 games despite only a few appearances from the bench.

APRIL 5 • ROTOWIRE

Suspended two games Abqar received a two-game ban due to misconduct that resulted in a red card during the last clash against Atletico, according to the RFEF.

Impact Abqar picked up a straight red for misconduct on Alexander Sorloth in the last La Liga clash and has been handed a two-game suspension by the Spanish league. That is a real hit for Getafe, as he had started four of the last six matches and was settling into a steady role in the back line. His absence will force a defensive reshuffle, with Djene Dakonam the clear favorite to step in and fill the gap over the next two fixtures.

Getafe defender Abdel Abqar has been sent off for pinching the genitals of an opposing player during his team’s 1-0 loss at Atletico Madrid in the Spanish league on Saturday

MARCH 14 • Associated Press

Receives red card Abqar was shown a straight red card in the 55th minute of Saturday's match against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Abqar was sent off with a straight red card during the second half of Saturday's clash against Atletico Madrid and will miss at least one match due to suspension. The Moroccan had started four of his last five appearances, and his absence could be felt, with Sebastian Boselli expected to start in central defense in his place.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Gets assist in start Abqar assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Betis. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 34th minute.

Impact Abqar's return to the starting lineup paid off for Getafe as the defender delivered an assist in a 2-0 win. Abqar is likely going to be more active in the defensive third when his side plays Atletico Madrid next, as the side has hit home 46 goals in 27 league games.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Added to bench Abqar (quadriceps) is on the bench for Monday's match against Real Madrid.

Impact Abqar is back with his team after a slight injury scare, as he will miss no games due to the injury. However, he has been placed on the bench after three straight starts, needing to build up fitness before starting again.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers quadriceps injury Abqar (quadriceps) is ruled out for the time being due to injury, according to Comuniate.

Impact Abqar picked up a quad injury in the last match against Sevilla and is sidelined for now as he focuses on recovering from the setback. The center-back has dealt with multiple injury issues this season, so the staff is not expected to rush him back into action. With Abqar out, Zaid Romero stands as the primary beneficiary and is in line to take on a larger role moving forward.

FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Subs off with discomfort Abqar left Sunday's 1-0 loss to Sevilla with a potential muscle issue.

Impact Abqar played 67 minutes in the weekend clash but asked to be subbed off due to an apparent thigh pain. The defender could be a doubt ahead of the next visit to Real Madrid, with the event of an absence forcing his team to include either Diego Rico or Sebastian Boselli in the back five.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Back available against Alaves Abqar (hamstring) is back available for Sunday's clash against Alaves, coach Jose Bordalas said in the press conference.

Impact Abqar returned to full team training this week and is expected to be available for Sunday's clash against Alaves. The center back was close to making his return last week, but the match came too soon, and he is now firmly back in contention after completing a full week of training with the group. Abqar has been a regular starter for Getafe this season and should be in line to reclaim a similar role if he can stay healthy moving forward. That said, with the recent addition of Zaid Romero, he could face increased competition for minutes at the back.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Abqar (hamstring) is out for Sunday's match against Celta Vigo.

Impact Abqar looks to have failed his testing heading into Sunday's contest, with the defender not yet an option. He will now turn to their next contest for a return to full fitness, more of a rotational pick when fit.

Impact Abqar resumed team training this week with Getafe since he is nearing a return from a hamstring injury but the defender will be a late call ahead of Sunday's clash against Celta Vigo. That said, the recent development is positive for the team since he has been a regular figure in the backline and his return in the coming fixtures will be a boost for the team.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Abqar suffered a hamstring injury in the Copa del Rey clash against Athletic Club and will miss several weeks at least to recover. This is a blow for Getafe since they have short squad and his absence will be missed in the backline. Juan Iglesias will likely see a larger role in the backline while he is out.

Clears suspension Abqar is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

DECEMBER 1, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Picks one match suspension Abqar will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Abqar accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga and will be suspended for the clash against Elche on Friday.

Back available Friday Abqar (undisclosed) is back available for Friday's clash against Girona, coach Jose Bordalas said in the press conference. "Everyone is available except Davinchi and Nyom."

Impact Abqar missed the last two games due to injury but has fully recovered from the issue since he resumed training this week and is back available for Friday's clash against the Catalans.

OCTOBER 30, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Saturday Abqar (undisclosed) is not in the squad for Saturday's game against Athletic Club.

Impact Abqar was initially deemed as unlikely to play Saturday, and that'll indeed be the case. With Abqar out, Juan Iglesias will remain in the starting lineup at center-back.

OCTOBER 25, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Very unlikely Saturday Abqar (undisclosed) is very unlikely for Saturday's clash against Athletic, coach Jose Bordalas said in the press conference.

Impact Abqar will be assessed Saturday morning but he is very unlikely going to feature in Saturday's clash against the Basques. The defender is dealing with an injury and missed the last game against Real Madrid. Juan Iglesias will be the one starting in the back five if he had to miss one more game.

OCTOBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses with muscle discomfort Abqar (undisclosed) ultimately missed the match squad due to muscle discomfort.

Impact Abqar couldn't play in the derby of Madrid against the Merengues since he has been dealing with muscle discomfort. It remains to be seen if the defender could be back available for their next contest against Athletic on Saturday. If not, Juan Iglesias could play in the back-three against the Basques.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Assists in home 1-1 draw Abqar assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Levante. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 41st minute.

Impact Abqar assisted his team's only goal of the game as his side came back to draw 1-1. This was his fourth start in a row, and he has played 90 minutes in the last three games. This assist came from his first chance created of the season. In each of the last three games, he has attempted at least four tackles.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Makes starting XI Abqar (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Oviedo.

Impact Abqar has recovered from his injury and is in the starting XI for Getafe's clash against Oviedo. His presence is a boost for a short-handed back line that was otherwise relying mainly on Djene Dakonam. While he's expected to rotate this season, starting right away suggests the staff has confidence in his readiness.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers apparent injury Abqar (undisclosed) will miss the season opener against Celta Vigo on Sunday as he is currently dealing with an injury, according to Gemma Santos from COPE.

Impact Abqar is dealing with an apparent injury and will not be available for his new club in the season opener against Celta Vigo. This is a big blow for Getafe since they have only one natural center back for the first game of the season in Djene Dakonam. His timeline for return is uncertain, but Abqar is expected to hold a rotational role this season, so his absence will not impact the starting squad too much.

AUGUST 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Joins Getafe until 2028 Abqar has signed a contract with Getafe until 2028, the club announced.

Impact Abqar was a free agent after ending his five-year stay at Alaves, where he made 56 appearances over the last two seasons. The Moroccan defender will be a valuable addition to the backline under coach Jose Bordalas, likely competing for a starting role heading into the 2025/26 La Liga season.
