Racing prepares for Rayo trip with one injury absence

Racing de Santander completed its final training session this Friday ahead of its visit to Rayo Vallecano, with a workout focused on small-sided games and finishing drills, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

The main piece of news from the session was the only injury-related absence, that of Andrés Martín, who will miss the match. In addition, Iker Luque won’t be available either: while he did individual work on the pitch after the rest of the squad went to the dressing room, he is serving a suspension carried over from his previous team.

Injury and suspension

Luque was sent off with Atlético Madrileño against Ponferradina on May 30, after pulling an opponent by the hair. For that incident, he received a ban of three matches; Mundo Deportivo adds that, after serving the first two, he has one game left to serve with Racing.

New signings get minutes

On the squad side, the arrivals from the last day of the transfer window — Jeanuël Belocian, André Almeida, and Pablo García — completed their second session with the rest of the team.

After training, Racing traveled to Madrid by bus, with an expected arrival time of 19:00, according to the same report.
