On the one hand, Pellegrini’s 19 called-up players for the Copa del Rey alternated between physical and strategic exercises during the 40-45 minutes.  On the other hand, those not called-up trained under the orders of Enrique Ruiz.  Injuries kept Maresca and Rosario in the gym, and a more long-term injury had Julio Baptista continuing his specialist recovery in Marbella.
 
After the training, the team will be based in Hotel Vincci Posada del Patio where they will have lunch and rest ahead of the last official game of 2011: the Málaga-Getafe return knockout match for the Copa del Rey (9 pm, La Rosaleda).
