Out for the Depor match

After tests this Thursday, the medical team set a recovery plan combining physiotherapy and gym-based rehabilitation. For now, Cardoso is fully ruled out for this Saturday’s game against Depor.

He joins Koke and the Cuti Romero in the treatment room. Koke is dealing with a muscle injury in his left thigh, while Romero has a minor adductor issue.
