Ozornwafor, César de la Hoz and Sekou named in the starting line-up again

The defender, the midfielder and the striker were out of action in the last matchday of 2019. The rojiblancos are travelling this Saturday

The defender Ozornwafor, the midfielder César de la Hoz and the striker Sekou have been called up by the manager to the next game that the rojiblancos will play this Saturday (6 p.m.) against CD Lugo at the Ángel Carro Stadium. The match corresponds to the 22nd matchday of the SmartBank League. It will be the first match of 2020. 

None of the three players mentioned above took part in the last game of 2019 against Ponferradina; César de la Hoz and Sekou missed that match due to injuries. As for Ozornwafor, he has not been named by tactical decision since he had played the Copa del Rey encounter. On the contrary, Juan Ibiza, Owona and Coric have been ruled out of the next match as the three of them are injured at the moment. Also, Rosic, Chema and Gaspar have been dropped from the squad. 

The rojiblancos began their final training session behind closed doors at the Juegos Mediterraneos Stadium.
