UD Almería ramp up preparations in the Stadium

The UD Almería first team ramp up preparations at the UD Almería Stadium ahead of Saturday's fixture against Real Sporting de Gijón. The game will be played at 9pm at the El Molinón-Enrique Castro 'Quini' Stadium.

Melero, who missed this last game, is making positive progress, as is Arnau Puigmal. Both are working their way to full fitness.
