Malaga's goalkeepers, ready to be outfield players if there is a limit situation

Málaga faces the hours before the match against Almería with 11 players with a professional card available one hundred percent. Matos and Yanis Rahmani will be dismissed due to the accumulation of reprimands (the latter, in any case, would not have been able to play because he is on loan from Almería, you know, fear clause. In addition, Lombán is in the final stretch of his coronavirus process and Orlando Sá, with his eternal muscular problems.

To make matters worse, Jozabed and Jairo had to retire early in the last game against Cartagena.. The first suffers an overload in the right adductor and the second an overload in the right calf. Both are pending evolution. The issue can be more complicated if Escassi has not improved, as expected from that knee sprain that prevented him from being in Cartagena. In the worst case, 11 professionals and two of them, goalkeepers

In this type of scenario, the club has an extreme situation contemplated, and that is that either of its two goalkeepers, Dani Barrio or Juan Soriano can act as field players if there is no other option.. It should be the case that Málaga had seven professionals on the field and one of them was injured. To avoid exceeding this limit of four subsidiaries on the pitch, one of the goalkeepers would have to take action. Both Dani Barrio and Juan Soriano are aware that this case (we insist, extreme) could occur and are prepared for it.

Juan Soriano precisely spoke about this issue after a question asked by As. This was his answer. “To play a whole game it is clear that we are not prepared. But help the team for 10 or 15 minutes and start hitting sticks, volleys or batons, well we do”.

Sergio Pellicer hopes to be able to recover Jozabed and Jairo to be at least 14. The Nules coach already warned a few weeks ago. “We are in an extreme situation.”
