The Blue and Whites’ reserve team is travelling to Huercal, Almería, this afternoon, ahead of tomorrow’s 15th Third Division Group IX match of the season, kicking off at 12 p.m.
Coach Salva Ballesta cannot count on injured Borja Jurado for this game, as he sustained a partially torn ligament in his right knee, nor Fuengirola-born striker, Mauri, who was injured in the penultimate training session of the week. The assistant coach won’t be on the bench tomorrow as he fulfils his second and final match ban.
AD Huercal are currently in the group’s penultimate position, racking up 11 defeats and three victories (against San Pedro, Marbella and Villacarrillo) so far this season. They lost to Español del Alquián last weekend by 4-0.
At. Malagueño line-up: Toni and Sergio (goalkeepers) Víctor Ruiz, Alberto Lopez, Álex Portillo and Sofian (defence), Rafa, Marrufo, Deco, Ernesto, Pablo, Vela (midfield), Samu Castillejo, Juanpi, Rufo and Pedro (forwards).
