Without Chavarría, but with Cristian: Pellicer makes do with what there is

In a very tough week due to Pablo Chavarría's long-term injury, Cristian Rodríguez's return to training is a breath of fresh air for Sergio Pellicer that only has 17 professionals to finish the season, some of them in tight physical condition like the aforementioned Cristian and the Portuguese Orlando Sá, who cannot find his best set-up.

The Malaguista coach will have to make do with what he has because it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to be able to sign another striker to cover Chavarría's injury. This week LaLiga published the salary limits of the clubs and that of Malaga has a severe reduction, from the previous 3,671 million euros to the current 2,964 million euros with which the season must end. This is what it is.

Cristian Rodríguez has been out of the group for about two weeks due to a bone edema in the fifth metatarsal of his left foot. His participation on Sunday against Sabadell will depend on his feelings. Sergio Pellicer is not usually in favor of forcing footballers just out of injury.

So far this season, Pellicer has summoned 42 players at least once. 19 of them with affiliate file. Of these 19 ten have played. Many of them have appreciated. Cases of Ismael or Ramón. Luis Muñoz and Juande also have a professional record.

For the rest, in training this Friday both Andrés Caro and Loren Zúñiga repeated with the first team. The forward, top scorer for youth A, is running to return to a Pellicer call-up as a possible offensive solution after the injury of Pablo Chavarría, who will be operated on next Wednesday at the CEMTRO clinic in Madrid by Doctor Laws.
