The Blue and Whites stepped on to the pitch at Martiricos before 16:30, under Pablo Guede’s orders. This pre-match session involved initial physical training, crosses and shots on goal, mini-matches and strategy training with the ball.

N’Diaye was in training with the team at a good pace for the third consecutive day. Outside the group, working in the gym as they recover from their respective injuries, were Ramalho, Bustinza, Burgos and Luis Muñoz.

Juvenil ‘B’ goalkeeper Naim accompanied reserve team keeper Arturo for goalkeeper training along with Manolo Reina and Yáñez; Chupete, a Malagueño striker, joined the list of usual homegrown players, which today included Andrés Caro, Víctor Olmo, Dani Lorenzo, Haitam and Loren.

Tomorrow, Sunday at 16:15, Málaga-Albacete will get underway at La Rosaleda, corresponding to matchday 4 of LaLiga SmartBank.
