Sweat, sweat and more sweat. That’s how the morning started for the Blue and White players. After breakfast, at 8:30am the official Málaga CF bus collected the players from their concentration hotel to take them to the training ground, located in the Málaga town of Benahavís.

The session got underway with a brief talk by Víctor Sánchez del Amo before carrying out the usual warm-up and various physical exercises. The coach then divided the players into groups to focus on ball exit work and pressure exercises.

Luis Hernández and Cifu alternated between training in the gym and continuous running as they advanced with their respective recoveries. As a precaution, Lombán retired from the final part of the session due to discomfort to his left knee.

Homegrown players Gonzalo and Kellyan (goalkeepers), Abqar, Ismael Casas, Ramón, Hugo and Iván Jaime trained under Víctor’s orders in this first training session during the stay in Estepona.

The team will return to training this afternoon (7pm), the second session of the day. Another double session is scheduled for tomorrow.
