Elche defender Hector Fort, on loan from FC Barcelona, has had surgery on a dislocated left shoulder following his goal in a recent match. The 19-year-old’s recovery timeline remains uncertain as it depends on the progress of his injury. Fort, who joined Elche from Barcelona, has been a key player for the team, contributing as a wing-back or wide midfielder.
Elche CF, currently positioned ninth in La Liga, has seen Fort play a significant role, scoring goals in both La Liga and the Copa del Rey. The club, founded in 1923 and based in Elche city, has steadily climbed the ranks to the top division over the years. Elche CF has spent 25 seasons in La Liga and was Copa del Rey runners-up in 1969.
Barcelona leads the La Liga standings with Real Madrid closely behind. Atletico Madrid, Villarreal, and Espanyol complete the top five teams in the league. Elche CF has secured 22 points from 17 matches in the 2025-26 season, with five wins, seven draws, and five defeats.
