QUIQUE SÁNCHEZ FLORES TAKES CHARGE OF HIS FIRST FULL TRAINING SESSION

Thursday's training saw our new head coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, take charge of his first full session. His previous two had been centred around preparing for and then recovering from the match against Granada. The squad were given a talk and a gym session before going out to the training pitch, almost an hour after the scheduled time. Marcos Acuña and Loïc Badé did some individual training as they continue their recovery from injury. Djibril Sow engaged in some light work with the group having missed the match at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes through injury.

On Friday there will be an afternoon session before travelling to Madrid for Saturday's match against Atlético Madrid. Just before then, at 15:00 CET, Sánchez Flores will attend the pre-match press conference.
