UD Almería Academy players Safi and Nacho Vila named in squad list

The two youngsters have been called up for the first time due to the four absences in the first team: Marc Pubill, Bruno Langa, Lucas Robertone and Sergio Arribas

UD Almería U19 'A' winger Safi and UD Almería 'B' left-back Nacho Vila have been named for the first time in the squad list for this Sunday's game against Real Oviedo at the Carlos Tartiere stadium. The two players, who are making their debut this season in the Club from La Cañada and Alzira, respectively, have been called up in light of the numerous absences in the squad such as Bruno Langa, who is on international duty with Mozambique squad; Marc Pubill, who has not fully recovered from the sprained knee; Lucas Robertone, operated on for a shoulder dislocation; and Sergio Arribas, serving a one-match suspension after being sent off against Burgos CF. Four absences in a squad of twenty players, which has led the head coach to also count on Bruno Iribarne, Gui Guedes and Rachad, who are regulars in the first team training.
 
UD Almería have completed a final training session behind closed doors on the Anexo ground before flying charter to Asturias.
