Córdoba CF and Granada CF are preparing for an intense Andalusian derby this Sunday at El Arcángel, where both teams will face the match with significant absences that will affect their strategies and formations.

Córdoba CF aims to solidify its position in the fight for the play-off, needing a home victory against Granada CF. The team, led by the Asturian coach, has 57 points and seeks to close the gap with Castellón, which currently holds a promotion spot with 65 points.
Despite the availability of most of their squad, Córdoba CF will have four notable absences. Among them, the midfielder from Granada, who will not play against his former team due to an abductor injury that has kept him out for four weeks. The coaching staff has decided not to risk his recovery.
These absences are in addition to those already known: a player who has been out for six months due to an ankle injury, and another who suffered a partial cruciate ligament tear a month and a half ago, expected to return next season. Furthermore, a third player will be unavailable after accumulating his fifth yellow card in the previous match against Castellón.
For its part, Granada CF also arrives weakened, especially in its defensive line. The team, under the direction of its coach, will be without its starting goalkeeper due to a fractured jaw, and another defender due to pubalgia. The participation of a key defensive player is uncertain until the last minute. In attack, Granada CF's top scorer will also be unavailable after being sent off in the previous match.
With this scenario, both teams are finalizing their possible starting lineups for the derby. The match will be refereed by Sergiu Muresan, from the Valencian Committee, with Rubén Ávalos, from the Catalan Committee, in charge of the VAR.

"The coaching staff does not want to take unnecessary risks with a player who has been out for four weeks due to an abductor injury."
