José Alberto: Racing’s international trio return tired

Jorge Salinas, Pablo García and Yassir Zabiri went on international duty during the league break, and José Alberto has already set the tone on their condition: “Yassir and Pablo have come tired.” The coach says he will decide whether they play “after tomorrow’s session and from there.”

The Moroccan played only a few minutes for his country, while Pablo García featured in both matches with Spain’s U-21s. After returning, the pair will train together with the group for three sessions before Racing’s game against Valencia.

On Saturday, the club will hold its final session before the Valencia clash and assess whether Zabiri and Pablo García start. Andrés Martín is available and could see minutes, while Salinas’ absence was minimal after playing just once for the Spain U-20s, as reported by MARCA.
