The most concerned is midfielder Ramn Folch, who has his wife about to give birth
The Elche expedition was unable to return yesterday from Tenerife and will not return until tomorrow Tuesday first thing in the morning. The green footballers were trapped in Santa Cruz Due to the intense haze -powder in suspension- that is hitting the Canary Islands and that has even forced to suspend Carnival and cancel all flights.
The players, coaching staff and assistants, together with the president of the club from Elche, Joaquín Buitrago, and the general director, Patricia Rodríguez, they were forced to stay overnight at the Silken Atlántida hotel and the Vueling company informed them yesterday afternoon that they must remain in Tenerife and that they will be relocated on a flight that will leave tomorrow at seven in the morning and that after stopping in Barcelona plans to arrive at El Altet airport around three and half in the afternoon.

The most worried about the expedition is the Catalan midfielder Ramón Folch, who was on the verge of not moving because his wife is about to give birth and since yesterday afternoon he was going to be at home now he will not do so until Tuesday in the afternoon.
After the game at Heliodoro Rodríguez López, who was already accompanied by the haze, the players returned to the hotel. Yesterday morning, as scheduled, they held a recovery session at the Ciudad Deportiva Javier Pérez. Later they returned to their headquarters to eat and, later, as indicated in the road map, they went to Tenerife Norte airport to catch the 15:45 flight (island time), which was due to land at El Altet airport at 7:30 p.m. (peninsular time). During the journey there were serious doubts about the possibility of the plane leaving. Upon arrival at the airport, the expeditionaries of the green-green entity were able to verify that all the flights had been canceled. The chaos was total with a multitude of passengers who had traveled to Tenerife for the weekend to enjoy the celebration of Carnival.
Once Vueling confirmed that throughout the day yesterday it was going to be impossible to resume flights, the components of Elche returned to the coach and returned to the Silken Atlántida hotel where they will also spend the night on Monday.
Second time and again defeat
This is the second time that Elche cannot catch a plane back. The first was on January 15, after playing in Gijón against Sporting, when the French-green expedition was unable to return from Madrid due to the fire that occurred at the El Altet airport. Both have been after defeats.
