The session got underway at 18:30, with a touch of rain during the afternoon. A physical circuit with the ball, rounds, small-sided drills and practice matches made up the evening’s training programme.

Aznou gradually rejoined the group, while Einar completed part of the session. Juan Cruz, who is recovering from a muscular overload, worked separately from the squad on the pitch.

Cajuste, Murillo, Aaron Ochoa and Lobete, who are all currently unavailable due to injury, were joined on the absentee list by Rafita, who has been called up by the Spain U21 squad.

Málaga will return to training at La Rosaleda’s Annexe at 10:30 on Tuesday.
