PREPARATION FOR THE CUP

The squad were back in training on Monday following Saturday's match against Cádiz and day off on Sunday. Vice president José María del Nido Carrasco and sporting director Víctor Orta were present for the session. Jesús Navas was not present due to illness, but Djibril Sow returned after pulling out of Saturday's match last minute.

Tuesday sees a morning training session before Diego Alonso's press conference. The squad will then travel to Castile-La Mancha for Wednesday's cup fixture in Quintanar de la Orden.
