Merino had the same absentees as yesterday and Xavi Torres and Cejudo were not able to train, Although today they were joined by Chuli in today's training session. The midfielder is of no major concern as Xavi will be back training with the rest of his teammates tomorrow and with all certainty will be available to the coach for the match against CD Lugo.

The cases of Cejudo and Chuli are a different matter. The midfielder is a serious doubt for the match this weekend. Cejudo has had an MRI which revealed a post-contusive edema in the medial condyle of the right knee. The player is awaiting developments. As for the froward, Chuli is suffering from plantar fasciitis in his right foot and could not train today. The ultrasonography which he has undergone has identified his problem and is awaiting developments.

Otherwise, the team is preparing for a match in which they are after a third consecutive victory. The team's morale has increased considerably as a result of the two league victories and the whole group is focussed on getting positive results in the remaining matches before the end of the year. Something that is essential to close the gap with the top teams.
