The most encouraging development involves Maffeo. The full-back trained for the second consecutive day alongside the rest of his teammates, after missing the last match against Deportivo due to muscular problems. His condition appears to have improved and those issues are already thought to be behind him.

Rioja's situation is different. The player is still dealing with an ankle problem and did not take part in the group training. His availability for Sunday remains up in the air.

Foulquier and Van Oevelen also stayed away from the session. Concern is especially focused on the latter, as during Wednesday's training he had to leave limping. It will still be necessary to wait to determine the extent of his issues.

Carlos Corberán will have the coming days to finish preparing the trip to Barcelona. The coach will continue to monitor the progress of the players who are still working apart, with the recovery of Maffeo as the main positive news and the full-back building up options to be available for one of the season's biggest fixtures.
