Málaga will start preparing for Sunday's game at El Molinón on Wednesday (4:00 p.m.). The appointment is very important to ward off the ghosts that seem to plague the team when they do not feel the heat of La Rosaleda. And in the preparation of the meeting many of the glances will be directed to two of the current tenants of the infirmary: Luis Muñoz and Sekou Gassama.
The absence of the midfielder was very marked by Málaga on Sunday at El Toralín and, to this day, his presence on the pitch is of great importance for the Blue and White team. As AS has learned, The Malaga player has plenty of options to get to the match against Sporting on time. The next few days will be final in this regard, but there is optimism about his recovery.
More caution surrounds Sekou's debut. The forward has been working on the sidelines so far and it remains to be seen if he will take a step forward in his recovery in the coming days or if he remains prudent. From the outset, he is not ruled out for Sunday, but it does not seem easy that he could debut as a blue and white in El Molinón. In this case, its set-up would be aimed at the duel against Fuenlabrada at La Rosaleda.
He could also have his first minutes as a Málaga player Ismael Gutiérrez. The midfielder on loan from Atlético de Madrid has already left behind the penalty games that he dragged from last season and was even on the bench against Ponferradina on Sunday. Ismael Casas, for his part, continues to improve from tendonitis in his left leg and it is not ruled out either. entirely for the clash against the Asturians.
