The Asturian side, currently in tenth place in LaLiga Hypermotion with 49 points, will face Cádiz CF, who sit in eighteenth position with 38 points, in a crucial encounter for both teams. The training session on Tuesday, April 14, revealed the absence of five players, four due to injury and one for workload management.

Among the injured players still not integrated into the group dynamic are Nacho Martín, Andrés Ferrari, Loum, and Kevin Vázquez. Of these, only Kevin Vázquez appears likely to recover in time to compete again this season.

Additionally, Guille Rosas did not train with the team, a decision made by the coaching and medical staff as part of a specific plan to manage his workload. This situation had occurred the previous week, culminating in his starting role in the match against Burgos.

This Sunday's match day will also feature a significant institutional event: the inauguration of Gate 0 at El Molinón - Enrique Castro 'Quini'. This ceremony, scheduled to begin at 11:30 AM, is an initiative by the Anselmo López Association.

The tribute aims to recognize those who contributed to the club's early years, founded in 1905. The club has actively supported this initiative, which has involved searching for direct descendants and relatives of Sporting's founding members from the early 20th century.
