The Almería team is gearing up for the thirty-fifth round of LaLiga Hypermotion, where they will face the league leaders, Real Racing Club, this Sunday at 9:00 PM at the Campos de Sport de El Sardinero. Coach Rubi has had to adjust his squad due to two significant absences.

Forward Leo Baptistao will be unavailable due to an accumulation of yellow cards, requiring him to serve a one-match suspension. Meanwhile, midfielder Gui Guedes has remained in Almería as a precautionary measure, having recently recovered from a muscle injury. Although the coach could have included him, he chose not to risk him, a decision he explained in the press conference prior to the trip to Cantabria.

The squad completed its final closed-door training session on Saturday afternoon at the UD Almería Stadium. Subsequently, early Sunday morning, the team traveled to Santander by charter flight, aware of the high demands and significance of this encounter.

Almería's squad for this crucial match includes goalkeepers Andrés Fernández, Fernando, and Bruno Iribarne. In defense, Alex Muñoz, Nelson Monte, Rodrigo Ely, Marcos Luna, Bonini, Centelles, Chumi, and Chirino will be present. The midfield will feature Arnau, André Horta, Jon Morcillo, Nico Melamed, Sergio Arribas, Baba, Lopy, Embarba, and Dzodic. Finally, the summoned forwards are Thalys, Soko, and Miguel de la Fuente.
