Córdoba CF, fresh from their recent victory in Cádiz, is preparing for their upcoming league challenge against Real Zaragoza with two crucial squad absences due to accumulated yellow card suspensions.

The triumph of Córdoba CF in Cádiz, though celebrated, has brought consequences for the team. The win, which ended a negative streak, was marked by Iván Ania's strategy, highlighting the performances of Sergi Guardiola and Jacobo González. However, both players will be unavailable for the next match against Real Zaragoza, scheduled for Saturday at 9:00 PM.
Sergi Guardiola, who returned to the starting lineup after 22 matchdays, received a yellow card ten minutes into the game in Cádiz. This booking, combined with previous ones, means the forward must serve a suspension, forcing Ania to rethink his tactical approach or opt for Obolskii as an alternative up front.
Meanwhile, Jacobo González, who started on the bench for the first time this season, will also miss the upcoming match at El Arcángel. Although he was not booked in Cádiz, the Madrid-born player accumulated his fifth yellow card in the previous match in La Coruña. The Competition Committee ruled that the suspension would take effect in the following matchday, due to the Easter holidays delaying the decision.
Adding to these suspensions is the uncertainty surrounding Xavi Sintes's participation, as he had to withdraw at halftime of the Cádiz match due to muscle problems. Coach Iván Ania confirmed that the center-back felt a hamstring discomfort. This situation exacerbates the team's defensive shortages, which already include injured players such as Carlos Marín, Trilli, Fomeyem, and Alcedo, with Álex Martín also on the verge of suspension.
