Midfielder Alberto del Moral is poised to start for Córdoba CF in this Saturday's match against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa, taking advantage of Isma Ruiz's absence due to accumulated yellow cards and physical discomfort.

Córdoba CF will face Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa this Saturday without one of its key players, Isma Ruiz. The player, from Gójar, has accumulated the most minutes for the team this season, totaling 2,786 across 33 matches. His absence forces coach Iván Ania to find an alternative in the midfield.
Isma Ruiz's absence is due to a yellow card received in the recent match against Zaragoza, which means he is suspended for the upcoming game. Furthermore, the player from Granada had to leave the match against Zaragoza at halftime due to physical discomfort, and the evolution of this injury will determine if his recovery period extends beyond this weekend.
In this situation, all eyes are on Alberto del Moral, who will have a valuable opportunity to prove himself. The player from Villacañas, who has had an inconsistent season with limited playing time, will seek to demonstrate his qualities in a crucial match for the team, which is aiming for its third consecutive victory. Del Moral has played 633 minutes in 17 matches (16 league games and one Copa del Rey match).
So far this season, Alberto del Moral has started six times, five in the league and one in the Copa del Rey. He only completed the full 90 minutes in two of these matches, the last being the 2-0 victory against Burgos at the beginning of 2026 at El Arcángel, where he also started due to an injury to Isma Ruiz.
After returning to Córdoba CF in the winter transfer window of 2025, on loan from Real Oviedo, Del Moral began his second stint at the club. Despite expectations, injuries and a lack of consistency have affected his performance. His last start before this potential return was in Riazor, after two months out with an injury, where he partnered Isma Ruiz in the double pivot.
Del Moral's return to the starting lineup represents the most natural option for Iván Ania in a key position, although the coach could also consider more offensive alternatives such as Pedro Ortiz or Théo Zidane alongside Requena. Córdoba CF will be looking for another victory at the Reino de León.
