SECOND SESSION OF THE WEEK THREE DAYS BEFORE THE DERBY

With no midweek fixture on the horizon, something rare for the club these days, all attention is focused on three days from now, when the Estadio Benito Villamarín will host the last 16 derby of the Copa del Rey. In preparations for Saturday, Julen Lopetegui took charge of the second session of the week on one of the outside pitches at the training ground. 

On both Thursday and Friday, the latter being the day in which the coach will address the media, there are two morning sessions scheduled to go over some final game plans for the clash against Betis. The two teams will meet just over two months after the league clash.
