Work with the ball and finishing exercises at the Annexe
The Malaguista squad was in training for an hour and 20 minutes this morning, with Jony at full capacity after leaving the group session yesterday as he sustained a blow to his ankle.
The players were in training for an hour and 20 minutes under the orders of Míchel, in a session that prioritised work using the ball. Focus was also placed on finishing exercises, and concluded with mini-matches on a reduced-sized pitch.
Kameni (discomfort to his left calf muscle), Jose Rodríguez (back problems), Rosales, Juanpi, Duda, Sandro, Ontiveros, Recio and reserve team goalkeeper, Samu Casado, exercised in the gym this morning, and didn’t step on to the pitch at La Rosaleda’s annexe. Jony was back to normal after overcoming discomfort to his left ankle.
In addition, Mikel, Peñaranda, Boyko and En-Nesyri were absent, currently on international duty during the FIFA calendar.
The team is off on Saturday and Sunday, and will return to work on Monday (10:30) at the Ciudad de Málaga stadium, to continue preparations for the match against Atlético de Madrid.
