Valladolid vs Córdoba: Víctor Sánchez miss shapes the starting XI

The Real Valladolid host Córdoba CF this Sunday at 14:00 in a direct match with just a one-point gap between the teams. Valladolid come from a 1-1 draw at the Alfonso Murube versus AD Ceuta FC, while Córdoba aim to turn their most recent win into a run.

For Pucela, the lineup is hit by the absence of internationals Abed, Balboa and Homan, plus injuries to Dani Pérez and Thiago Ojeda. In Córdoba, Víctor Sánchez doesn’t travel and will continue with preventive treatment for at least a week, with the hope of being ready for the 5 October trip to Tenerife at El Arcángel.

Iker Álvarez, meanwhile, is on Andorra duty in the Nations League. Salim El Jebari returns to Iván Ania’s selection after a recurring pubalgia problem.
