UD Las Palmas Prepare for Córdoba Clash
The yellow manager has not confirmed Jonathan Viera’s inclusion in the squad for the match in Córdoba and believes Jesé is “getting better all the time.”
Luis García, the coach of UD Las Palmas, anticipates that his team will demonstrate “personality” and be “reliable” away from home in their first visit of the 2025-2026 season, next Monday in Córdoba, during the second round of LaLiga Hypermotion.
### Focus on Team Evolution
One of the main objectives for this match is to see the team’s evolution and “continue taking steps forward,” following their stumble at home last week against Andorra (1-1).
“We want to get closer to what we aspire to be, and we must perform well away from home if we are to achieve important goals,” he stated during the press conference on Saturday.
### Respect for Córdoba
The Oviedo-born coach is confident that Córdoba “will do very well this year” as they retain the same manager and many players from the previous season. He describes the team as one that feels “particularly comfortable at home.”
### Injury Updates
Luis García has refrained from confirming whether the experienced Jonathan Viera and Jesé Rodríguez will travel, but he is pleased that both have improved physically after the last week of training.
“Jesé is getting better all the time, training well, with energy, and striving to reach an optimal level to compete,” he commented about the forward, while he noticed Viera “has made significant physical progress,” making him “more likely to participate.”
Unfortunately, those who will not be available include injured players Sandro Ramírez, Iván Gil, and Viti Rozada, alongside Kirian Rodríguez, who is still in the recovery process from his illness.
