Marbella is already waiting for Espanyol

The Espanyol expedition, commanded by the coach, Vicente Moreno, will leave Barcelona by AVE for Malaga this afternoon at 3:00 p.m. At night you will arrive in the capital of Malaga and from there a bus will take you to Marbella, a city that will become the new Navata, Peralada, Val d'Aran or Olot, the last places that have hosted the bulk of the pre-season parakeet. COVID-19 has caused this course to be as short as it is atypical.

Espanyol will unravel small doubts about the players who will travel to Marbella throughout the morning. Delicate is the presence of Adrià Pedrosa, who could be out for the U-21 match due to the inconvenience that prevented him from finishing the match against Huesca. Javi Puado, who suffered the coronavirus in Zaragoza, is waiting to rejoin and also to go with the Under-21, while Pipa, the other mentioned, a priori will travel to Marbella and from there he will join the national team next Monday .

Also pending is the evolution of Raúl de Tomás and Sergi Darder, who lost against Huesca as a precaution. However, nothing indicates that they will not travel. During this stay, Espanyol hopes to incorporate some other footballers and lighten the squad. Keidi Bare, who still belongs to a Malaga undergoing an ERE, could be the next to be announced. A few kilometers from Marbella will be the midfielder, and Rufete could take advantage of it to liquidate the last remaining fringes there.

As advertised Esport3 the week before and the club this Monday, there are three friendlies confirmed, against Cádiz (30), Málaga (2) and Almería (5). A fourth match is pending, which is awaiting federative confirmations, which could be against Córdoba, which being in Second B has not undergone a PCR test so it would be ruled out, or against another rival who is these days by the Football Center in Marbella or the area. On the 5th at noon, the expedition will return by AVE to Barcelona.
