Several Blue and Whites were out on international duty, namely Seba (Uruguay), Cazorla (Spain), Mathijsen (Holland), Rondón (Venezuela), Kameni (Cameroon), Isco (Spanish Olympic side) and Juanmi (Spain’s Under 19s).
Also absent was Enzo Maresca who has a cold; Sergio Sánchez, who was injured in the previous league clash against Zaragoza and who will now be out for three weeks; and Julio Baptista who is continuing with his recovery treatments separate from the group.
