Vedat Muriqi will not be able to play due to accumulation of yellow cards
“Muriqi contributes a lot, but they are things of the game. He has to serve his sanction. It is the hole where I have the most players. I am calm in that sense, there are people to replace him. They are all very different, perhaps the most similar in size is Fer Niño. Muriqi is a very important player for us. He helps us a lot in the air. Still, we don’t depend on one player.”

“Being close is as if we were in decline. We have to do our job, without seeing what Cádiz or Alavés do. We are there. We cannot relax. In every game we play a lot and tomorrow it has to be noticed”.
