Eder Sarabia debuts from the stands and tips Moscardo as a surprise
The Basque coach serves a suspension carried over from last season, so he will not be on the bench against Deportivo on Saturday at 16:15.
Eder Sarabia makes his debut as RCD Espanyol coach on Saturday at 16:15 at Cornellà -El Prat, against Antonio Hidalgo's Deportivo. The Basque cannot sit on the bench because of a suspension he carries over from last season. At his first press conference he said he faces the debut «with great enthusiasm».
On goal, he said all his keepers are ready to start: Marko Dmitrovic has always caught his eye, and Ăngel Fortuño is performing outstandingly. On Gabriel Moscardo, who had little role under Manolo GonzĂĄlez, he said he «will be one of the surprises». Urko has a minor problem and is out for the match.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the team comes off a recent win, and Sarabia wants to connect with the crowd early against a Deportivo side he rates very talented in the final third.
