Salva Ballesta cannot count on Diego and Falu Aranda for this match due to suspension; the first due to an accumulation of yellow cards, and the second following a double yellow card in the last match against Los Molinos.
The Blue and Whites’ coach does however have Rafa de Vicente in action. The academy player was injured at the beginning of the season, and following regular training sessions with the first team, is looking to gain more minutes on the pitch to finish his recovery process. He has been included in the list of 18 called-up players – there will be two taken out of the line-up just before the match.
Los Villares is in 7th place with 46 points, far away from the relegation zone, but also a long way off the fight for promotion play-off positions, being 12 points behind the fourth placed team.
At. Malagueño line-up (18): Aaron and Godino (goalkeepers), Álex Portillo, Alberto López, Iván Rodríguez, Cristian, Calero, Roy (defenders), Rafa de Vicente, Deco, Pablo, Ernesto, Paul, Mula (midfielders) Rufo, Mauri, Ernesto Gómez and Zalea.
