There are no surprises in the squad list that Espanyol has published this afternoon to face Lugo tonight (21:00, Come on). The only casualties are Jofre Carreras and Joan García, who only replaces Angel Fortuño, because Vicente Moreno has mentioned only 23 players and not 24 as against Malaga last Monday. In fact, the coach could repeat the same line-up taking into account the good performance at La Rosaleda.
In this way, Diego López will be the goalkeeper in a special match, as it is the first time as a professional that Lugo, the club in which he started playing football, has been measured. Ahead, a defense that has shared minutes in recent weeks with extraordinary results: Miguel Llambrich, Fernando Calero, Leandro Cabrera and Adrià Pedrosa. The left-handed winger had stomach problems after the match against Malaga, but they have not prevented him from being summoned so he will be one hundred percent.
In front, Sergi Darder will repeat with David López in a double pivot formed in Sant Adrià, as was also forged from start to finish in the Sports City Óscar Melendo. Escorted by Adriàn Embarba and Javi Puado on the sides. One of the options is that Wu lei could reappear after returning to Malaga after his injury. RdT, non-negotiable, will be the ram.
The players named by Vicente Moreno are Oier Olazábal, Llambrich, Pedrosa, Cabrera, Calero, Lluís López, Wu Lei, Fran Mérida, Puado, Darder, RdT, Diego López, Melendo, David López, Dídac Vilà, Álex López, Matías Vargas, Embarba, Víctor Campuzano, Pol Lozano, Óscar Gil, A. Fortuño and Nico Melamed.
