UD Las Palmas finds itself in a complicated scenario to close the league season. Following their recent victory against Almería, the team must face the last two matchdays without several of its players, the most significant being the absence of Viti Rozada, an undisputed starter at full-back, who has suffered a knee sprain. This injury will rule him out of the games against Real Zaragoza, this Sunday at the Gran Canaria stadium, and against Dépor at Riazor.
This setback adds to the existing absences of Sergio Barcia, Ale García, Enzo Loiodice, Sandro Ramírez, and Jere Recobita. The squad trained this morning at the Ciudad Deportiva del Málaga before flying back to Gran Canaria.
In addition to the confirmed injuries, the team added two new concerns yesterday. Marvin Park and Álex Suárez had to leave training due to discomfort and cramps, respectively. Given these circumstances, coach Luis García Fernández called upon youth academy players Iván Medina and Valentín Pezzolesi, who recently secured qualification for the 'final four' of the Youth Champions Cup.
Yesterday's victory in Almería has highlighted the coach's work, who proved successful with his substitutions, bringing on players such as Herzog, Viera (replacing Suárez), Valentín Pezzolesi, and Pejiño. The performance of these players, along with the introduction of Iker Bravo for Jesé Rodríguez, was crucial for the outcome.
