Daley Blind
36-Year-Old
Girona
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Blind proved to be a solid leader in the back line once more for Girona in 2024/25, logging heavy minutes (31 starts, eight clean sheets) and anchoring the defense with his intelligence and distribution. The Dutch defender doesn't rely on speed but still made a big impact thanks to his reading of the game. With added competition in defense, he may rotate more in 2025/26, but his experience keeps him in the picture. Even if his minutes dip, Blind should remain a reliable starter in big games and a steady presence for the Catalan side.
Set to start against Betis
Blind (muscular) has returned from his recent issue and is set to start Tuesday's clash against Real Betis, according to coach Michel Sanchez. "Blind is back."
ANALYSIS
Blind had been left out of Friday's squad for the Real Madrid fixture as a precaution after managing discomfort since the Villarreal match, but his recovery has progressed well enough to have him back in the predicted starting lineup for the Betis clash. The veteran center-back is an undisputed presence in Girona's back line and his return is a welcome boost for coach Sanchez as the club pushes through the final stretch of the season.
