After the routine antigen tests and a video session, the players stepped on to La Rosaleda’s Annexe pitch just before 11:00, alternating between initial physical work followed by technical exercises using the ball.

Dani Martín, Dani Barrio and homegrown keeper Santos, plus 22 players including reserve team members Ismael Gutiérrez, Kevin, Roberto, Dani Lorenzo and ‘Juvenil’ player Andrés Caro, were in training at full pace today.

Outside the group, Chavarría alternated between solitary running and training in the gym, where Juande underwent specific treatment. In addition, long-term injured Luis Muñoz remains outside the group, along with Genaro who is still in Madrid for the first phase of his recovery.

Tomorrow, Friday the final morning training session will get underway (10:00) before the team boards the AVE train to Zaragoza. After training, Natxo will hold a press conference ahead of #RealZaragozaMálaga.
