Akhomach, Saliba y Pape Gueye, bajas confirmadas
Íñigo Pérez confirmed that Ilias Akhomach and Nathan Saliba will not be available for this Friday's match due to muscle problems.
Those two absences are joined by Pape Gueye, who will have to serve a suspension.
«We have confirmed the absences of Ilias Akhomach and Nathan Saliba. The rest is available for tomorrow, plus Pape Gueye's suspension», he explained.
As a result, the coach will have to look for alternatives, especially in midfield.
Posibles cambios por la acumulación de partidos
The coach acknowledged that the run of matches is causing discomfort and piling up minutes for several players.
However, he said that the rest of the squad is available, without confirming rotations or bringing forward any news in the starting XI.
Un Espanyol más agresivo tras el cambio de entrenador
Íñigo Pérez expects an especially intense opponent after the sacking of Manolo González and the arrival of Sergio García.
«I don't expect any game other than one with very high aggression, with the desire to get out of this situation on the sporting front», he said.
The coach also stressed the importance of keeping the high press and improving attacking efficiency, two areas he considers key to extending Villarreal's good run.
