Espanyol seeks to get out of relegation in Getafe

MADRID, 14 Ene. (EUROPA PRESS) –

RCD Espanyol seeks this Sunday at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez (2:00 p.m.) to get closer to the salvation positions on the seventeenth day of LaLiga Santander, in a game in which Getafe needs a victory that allows them to put land in the middle with the drop zone.

The Catalan team drags seven league games without knowing a victory – five draws and two defeats – and only the Copa del Rey, in which they will face Athletic Club in the round of 16, has given them a break. Now, Diego Martínez’s men are penultimate with 14 points, one of the permanent positions.

“No one likes to be there,” said the Galician coach about the team’s current situation, assuring that it is something “circumstantial” at this stage of the season.

Nico Melamed and Leandro Cabrera will be available for the duel on Sunday, which will not be able to attend the suspended Brian Oliván nor the injured Adrià Pedrosa, Keidi Bare, Gori Gracia and Pol Lozano.

The azulones, for their part, accumulate 17 units, two more than the burning zone, after falling on the last day against Sevilla (2-1), and they cannot relax if they do not want to be involved in problems, such as those that They accompanied him in the Cup, where they were eliminated by Levante. Only Mauro Arambarri will miss the match.
