Sporting, after adding the three points against Zaragoza, faces its debut in the Copa del Rey with Quintanar del Rey as a rival and many doubts in the line-up, since Gallego has many players touched, the most important Manu García and Babin, that will be safe for this game and probably also for the next league against Leganés.
The victory against Zaragoza was offset by injuries to Manu García, initially a hamstring elongation, and Babin, an overload in the calves, in addition to blows in the case of Gragera, Pedro Díaz and Djurdjevic, of which the technician should be aware.
These withdrawals and also the fact that players with a subsidiary file are usually playing with the first team, of which they cannot use more than three simultaneously, means that Gallego is going to have to line up usual men in the League in the Cup.
Gallego does intend to use the less common men from the first team who are fit, as is the case with Pablo Pérez, Carmona, Álvaro Vázquez or even Neftalí, hitherto unpublished, while in midfield Javi Fuego or Gragera must repeat in the absence of substitutes, since Pedro Díaz is touched and Nacho Méndez recovering from the injury he suffered in the league.
Cristian Salvador and Marc Valiente They have some training sessions with the group, but it does not seem that their return to the team will take place on Wednesday in the Cup match, since in both cases they are long-term injuries and they have barely had collective training.
The match against Quintanar del Rey, third, will not be played in this town but in Albacete and will mean lto the novelty of the presence of the public in the stands, something that the authorities of Castilla-La Mancha are beginning to allow.
For Sporting, it will be the first time that they play with the public in attendance since last March, when the state of alarm was decreed, which could be an added incentive to trying to pass the tie to a single game.
