Málaga CF faces the international break from the bottom of La Liga, a critical situation the club aims to reverse through work and unity. Following a 1-0 defeat to Getafe last Sunday, the team returned to training on Monday with a group talk and a session at Martiricos, while a message on their social media issued a clear rallying call to the fans.
The club posted: "Este equipo no va a dejar de trabajar ni de luchar. Y lo hará 𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙙𝙤". The statement comes at a time of maximum sporting need. Málaga sits 20th with just three points from seven games, the result of three draws and four defeats, and is the only team in the division yet to win. Their goal difference stands at -9, with three scored and twelve conceded.
Injury recovery
The main goal during these almost three weeks without competition is the recovery of several injured players. Manager Funes was without Cajuste, Aznou, Murillo, Aarón Ochoa and Lobete for the session. The week's schedule includes physical and ball work, with a differentiated load for those who started the last match. The team will train again on Tuesday at 10:30 at the La Rosaleda annex, maintain the routine until Friday, and rest over the weekend before beginning specific preparation for the return to competition.
The next fixture is a direct survival clash against Espanyol at La Rosaleda on October 9th. Espanyol currently occupies 15th place. For Málaga, who returned to the top flight just three months ago, every point from now on is vital. The schedule for the return, with Espanyol as the first hurdle, is available in our fixtures section.
