The team prioritised the physical for the majority of the session. Continuous running, stretching and specific strength exercises preceded group rounds and technical work with the ball.

As usual, José Alberto counted on reserve team players Santos, Kevin, Roberto and Haitam. Sekou (treatment) and Chavarría (preventive) remained in the gym outside from the group.

Alexander González remains on international duty – he was in Venezuela’s starting line-up in Paraguay yesterday (the ‘Vinotinto’ outfit lost 2-1) – in another qualifier for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Tomorrow, Saturday at 10:30, training will resume at La Rosaleda. The coach will then hold a press conference ahead of Sunday’s #MálagaGirona clash.
