Following the usual initial technical talk, the team stepped on to the pitch around 10:45 on this sunny morning, the exact opposite of yesterday’s weather during training. A total of 25 players were under the orders of Míchel today, counting goalkeepers; Kameni, Boyko and juvenil keeper, Javi Cuenca, plus another 22 players including Ontiveros, En-Nesyri and Álex Robles, the homegrown right-winger who was new to training today. The ball took priority in all exercises.

On a positive note, Juanpi Añor integrated into the group at a good pace for the second consecutive day. Miguel Torres was absent, as he’s suffering with a bout of tonsillitis. Recio and reserve team goalkeeper, Samu Casado continued with their respective recoveries, under the instruction of fitness trainer, Hugo Camarero, alternating between treatment in the gym with ball work on the pitch. Koné in France, and Kuzmanovic in Switzerland, remain absent.

Tomorrow, Thursday from 10:30, Málaga CF will resume training at La Rosaleda stadium’s facilities.
