Sergio Pellicer has not been able to count on David Lombán or Stefan Scepovic for the match played against Logroñés in Las Gaunas. The central has been low due to coronavirus. This has been announced by Malaga himself, who has announced that the player tested positive “in the antigen test carried out this Saturday.” The positive was later corroborated with a PCR test. Lombán has been under the indicated health protocol since the positive was known.
The other absent, Scepovic, had to follow the game from the stands since the Japanese Football Federation did not send the transfer on time (International Transfer Certificate), essential to be able to process your file and be registered in LaLiga.
Thus, the blue and white coach only had two outfield players with a professional record on the bench: Jairo and Benkhemassa. Orlando Sá, Cristian, Ramón, Ismael and Hicham missed the match due to injury.
