As is usual with the newest additions to the team from the transfer window, the new players exercised in the gym and underwent a series of resistance, strength and speed tests, to determine their fitness levels at this stage in the season.

Federico Ricca and Ike Uche met their new teammates this morning during their first training session at the Ciudad de Málaga stadium, working separately from the group.  The others underwent a usual session with the other new players, Atsu and Cifu, now totally integrated into the team.

Working on their recovery from injury, the known absences of Weligton – suffering with an injury to his anterior quadriceps muscle in his left leg – and Chory Castro – with hamstring problems in his left leg.
