Malaga has started 2021 suffering collateral effects of the coronavirus. We must recognize that it is one of the few clubs that has not been punished at its core for this damn disease, but has been involved in two specific situations: Josua Mejías' New Year's Eve party and the quarantine that must be kept. Luis Muñoz for having been in contact with a positive. The man from Malaga must pass PCR tests in the next few hours.
To this circumstance with Luis Muñoz we must add another with Benkhemassa. The Algerian midfielder was injured while warming up to jump onto the pitch at Málaga-Real Oviedo. It is a low back pain that is pending evolution. It will be necessary to see if it arrives in time to be able to play the Cup match against Granada scheduled for this weekend.
On the other hand Alberto Escassi he will miss the next league match against Ponferradina as he was sent off for a double yellow.
