Málaga will have more than ten professionals for Alcorcón

Málaga continues to prepare the visit to Alcorcón and has exercised this first day of the year at La Rosaleda with the mind set on reversing the bad dynamics with which the year ended and achieving a victory in Santo Domingo that helps dispel doubts. The week has not been far from easy in Martiricos. The infections by COVID have been numerous and José Alberto has lost ten of his footballers for this reason. But as the meeting approaches, the news is getting a little better. Several of the first players who tested positive before Christmas Eve have already tested negative and may be available from the Asturian coach.

Apart from the coronavirus, the injuries have not given way either and of the seven convalescent footballers (several of them are also among the positive ones) it seems very difficult for any of them to recover in time for the shock. A) Yes, with Luis Muñoz, Jozabed, Ramón, Juande, Kevin, Paulino and Hicham in the infirmary and Brandon sanctioned for accumulating yellow cards, the list of casualties for Alcorcón is very extensive.

In any case, and taking into account the players who have already tested negative and some more that are expected to be added before Monday, José Alberto may have more than ten professionals from the first team of the 23 that it has in staff to face the meeting. The decline is more than considerable, but the party does not allow excuses and Malaga plays three fundamental points against the bottom. The latest results and the doubts that have loomed over the coach force him to react. Santo Domingo, a priori, can be a propitious scenario to turn the tide and achieve the longed-for first victory away from home.
