The flags are still at half-mast at El Requexón. Today's return to work was full of pain and sadness following the loss of our Director of Football, Francesc Arnau. However, the obligation to play against CD Mirandés tomorrow at the NMR Carlos Tartiere means that the team had to complete a final training session this morning.

Training today began with a deeply-felt minute's silence in the centre of Pitch 2 at the training ground, with all present at El Requexón participating.

At the end of the session, José Ángel Ziganda announced a matchday squad made up of the following 21 players: Femenías, Alberto Horreo, Grippo, Arribas, Edgar, Carlos Hernández, Johannesson, Sangalli, Rodri Ríos, Borja Sánchez, Juanjo Nieto, Jimmy, Nahuel, Obeng, Viti, Bolaño, Tejera, Blanco Leschuk, Mossa, Lucas and Borja Valle. The team will meet up at Hotel Silken Monumental Naranco at 12:00 tomorrow and spend the pre-match period there. The fixture will be officiated by Iñaki Vicandi Garrido, from the Basque Country.
