"Jesé has had stomach problems, so can’t travel, nor has he been able to complete training", stated Quique Setién. "Pedro Bigas is also in some discomfort, but it is nothing serious, and he has been able to complete all the training sessions.
Setién expects "a very hard match, but we can certainly hurt them, but our chances there will depend on us keeping possession as they are strong off the ball". "The team has worked really hard and the facilities at Hornillo are perfect for training. We are really happy", he stressed. , but it is important to beat them like any other team, I hope we have a good game and feel comfortable out there". "We have a deficit in terms of defence and defending against certain moves, while we are also the team with the highest percentage in terms of bringing the ball out from defence".
"It is hard to keep a competitive edge at this stage of the season, and it is not easy being safe from relegation yet far from qualifying for European football, but there are players who have a lot to play for so we are trying to keep demands high on them until the end of the season. The table shows that we are not quite in a position to challenge for European football this year".
