UD Las Palmas resumed training on Monday at their Sports City, with their sights set on the crucial return match against Málaga CF scheduled for Wednesday.

The Gran Canaria squad began the day with an activation session in the gym for the players who started in the first leg. The rest of the team trained on the Ernesto Aparicio field, engaging in rondos, positional games, and finishing drills.
Training will continue on Tuesday at the Barranco Seco Sports City at 1:00 PM, before the team embarks on their journey to Málaga.

"We are going to prepare for it with the utmost enthusiasm because I am convinced that we are capable."

Luis García · UD Las Palmas Coach
UD Las Palmas coach Luis García expressed his confidence for the return leg, stating that the team will approach the preparation with great enthusiasm. There is a possibility he might field the same starting eleven as in the first leg, unless he decides to change the tactical formation to include two strikers from the outset.

"The tie is still open, and anything can happen in a playoff. We are not thinking we have it won; we have to do the work the coach tells us and trust in that style of play."

Dani Lorenzo · Málaga CF Player
Málaga CF player Dani Lorenzo, on the other hand, acknowledged that the tie remains open and that anything is possible in a playoff. He emphasized the importance of following the coach's instructions and trusting the game plan, dismissing any sense of complacency.
