Scepovic ready to be the 34th player employed by Sergio Pellicer

Stefan Scepovic already has all the paperwork in order and is ready to debut this Sunday against Tenerife if Sergio Pellicer sees fit. If he jumps onto the pitch, he will be the 34th player Sergio Pellicer will use in a season where, in addition, he has used ten players with affiliate chips and summoned another 10 who could not jump onto the pitch. In this sense, Scepovic will be number 45 to be on an arbitration act.

Manolo Gaspar, sports director, commented that the Japanese federation had already sent the International Transfer Certificate, a document that enables him to play for Málaga. Other classic bureaucratic procedures with LaLiga were also solved.

The Serbian forward is integrating perfectly with the rest of the squad. Although he lacks competition rhythm, as is normal, he is in a competitive state because, after leaving his previous Japanese team, Machida Zelvia, he was preparing on his own in Belgrade as he commented during his presentation.

The Balkan attacker has many possibilities to play his first minutes against “Tete”. As will be remembered, Caye Quintana had to retire last Sunday in Logroño due to a blow to the ankle. The Huelva player has been able to train normally and the normal thing is that he is a starter and that in the course of the game Pellicer bet on giving the alternative to Scepovic,

Orlando Sá and his physical problems.

In the nursing chapter Ismael continues to recover from his sprained ankle while Orlando Sá is still a non-stop, with muscular discomfort, gluteal discomfort and some problems in one shoulder. Cristian Rodríguez, contusion on the foot, Hicham is affected by new muscular discomfort that decided him to go to Lille (France) to be treated. Ismael Casas, grade II sprain on his left ankle. In addition, Lombán is affected by positive for coronavirus. Still in quarantine.

Sergio Pellicer continues with a tight squad of chips for these injuries and with four footballers warned, Matos, Joaquín, Yanis and Ramón. If any of them see a new yellow card, Malaga will have a problem because, at the moment, they have 15 professionals.
