Antonio Hidalgo confirmed that Marc Casado is already completing training normally and that there is a chance he could be included in the squad to face Espanyol.

«We will see how today's session ends and then we will decide whether he can be called up», he explained.

Although the medical staff believe his injury has healed, the coaching staff prefer to proceed with caution, especially with the international break so close.

Aubameyang is improving, but his place in the starting XI is still up in the air

After making his return against Osasuna, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is still working his way back to full match sharpness.

Hidalgo did not rule out the possibility of him starting, although he stressed the need to manage his workload carefully.

«We have to be cautious. We will see how long he can be available for tomorrow», he said.

As a result, his place in the starting XI will depend on how he feels physically after his return.

Adama is pushing for a start and Yeremay impresses

The coach admitted that Adama Traore is an option to start, highlighting his standout qualities and his progress in training.

He also praised Yeremay Hernandez, especially for his improvement in defensive work and pressing opponents.

«I keep seeing him get better», he said of the winger.

Loureiro, Noubi and the defensive competition

Hidalgo highlighted the versatility of Miguel Loureiro, whom he sees as a very useful player because of his ability to operate in different positions.

As for Lucas Noubi, he explained that competition is fierce, with six centre-backs for two places, which means opportunities have to be shared out according to performance.

He also confirmed that Bright Ede is already taking part in part of training, but they do not want to take any risks with his recovery and hope to have him in perfect condition after the break.

Eddahchouri is closing in and there are no clues over the goalkeeper

Zakaria Eddahchouri is getting closer and closer to returning, although there is still no set date.

As for Leo Roman, Hidalgo refused to confirm whether he will keep his place in the starting line-up or whether there will be changes between the posts.

The coach will keep his line-up decisions until shortly before the match against Espanyol, an opponent he expects to be especially motivated against after the arrival of Eder Sarabia.
