The team continues to the limit. Sergio Pellicer returned to get another miracle to complete not a call but an eleven that ended the game against Almería without bordering the wrong lineup. In the course of the meeting he had to remove Escassi, Jairo and Jozabeb, who were not counted on due to their respective annoyances. David Lombán also returned, with very few training sessions after having overcome the coronavirus.
And on top of that, Josua Mejías was injured. The Venezuelan center-back was doing a very good game in control of Umar Sadiq, the best player in the category. But a few minutes from the end he retired injured. The medical report provided by the club spoke of a blow to his left quadriceps, pending evolution. The match against Lugo is expected to arrive on Sunday but… you have to be calm.
At least two returning. Among the bad things, Yanis Rahmani and Matos have served their penalty game for accumulating cautions, they arrive clean of cards and also have rested from this match during the week. Not so bad.
Come back a match, mission impossible. Worrisome fact. Málaga have not come back from any game in the 32 games they have played in this championship. Concending a goal is a drama for Pellicer’s team because it is already a sign that that game is not going to win. In addition, it has only been to balance two encounters with an adverse score; a 0-2 at home against Lugo and last week’s draw in Cartagena. Only two epic points.
Playing at home is still a nightmare. Málaga have only won four of the 16 games they have played at La Rosaleda. The rest are six draws and another six defeats. Only 18 points out of 48 possible. La Rosaleda is not the necessary bastion. At least, away from home he has added 23.
At last, goodbye to Al Thani roundabout. It has cost work but the wait has been worth it. The City Council, finally, has managed to place the label of “the Malaguista fans” in the league where the unfortunate name of the horrible president / tweeter used to be. In this way, the aim is to reward the tireless work of the Blue and Whites’ fans in good times and bad.
Varapalo for Atlético Malagueño. The Andalusian Football Federation has ruled in favor of Melilla in its challenge to the match against the Malaguista subsidiary due to Villegas’ improper alignment. The score, which was 0-2, becomes 3-0, which leaves Málaga’s second team without playing the promotion phase. El Palo will play in his place.
