Following two days of rest to reactive the body and mind, the Malaguista squad returned to work this morning at La Rosaleda’s Annexe, the first of the training sessions this week ahead of Sunday’s clash with UD Almería.

There was a change of ball today, the fluorescent LaLiga SmartBank ball, with which the team will train throughout the week and which will also feature in #AlmeríaMálaga.

Pellicer’s men were in training for an hour and a half, undergoing possession and finishing work, to end the session with matches on a reduced-sized pitch. Injured Escassi, Jairo, Juande, Chavarría and Benkhemassa trained outside the group this morning, first in the gym and then on the pitch.

Another session is scheduled tomorrow, Wednesday at La Rosaleda’s facilities.
