Nosa Igiebor will undergo surgery on Friday to resolve the problems that have been dragging on with his left knee, and which kept him from travelling to Kazán and Villarreal. The midfielder attempted to train this week but his discomfort did not reduce. He has been diagnosed with an internal meniscopathy and will undergo arthroscopic surgery to correct it. Details of the recovery period will be announced after the surgery.

Likewise, Joan Verdú continues treatment for his discomfort. The Catalan suffered a strain in the adductor brevis muscle that has resulted in the development of lower back pain. In principle, he will start training again on the pitch next week. It is also expected that Nacho, who had a severe contusion on the fibula, may rejoin the group gradually starting next week.

Calderón has called upon the U18 player Dani Ceballos for the evening training session. This promising midfielder who recently extended his contract, has drawn the attention of the coaching staff who did not hesitate to call on him for the evening training session.
