RCD Espanyol has arrived at the hour of truth, the tests are over and a preseason with lights and shadows has ended. LaLiga begins for Espanyol.
The Espanyol team is set to make its LaLiga debut against Levante on Sunday, with a team still in construction but with the five signings at Manolo's disposal.
The five signings arrived so far will be in Manolo's call-up today, even the central Vajan Drkusic who was formalized on Friday, and a couple of them, Calatrava and Unai Núñez, are pointing to starters, without ruling out some surprise.
The preseason has left some doubts, especially in the defensive work, gaps that the pericos will try to avoid today, as starting with a zero goal will be one of the best news for an Espanyol that aspires to be strong at home and not suffer like the past exercise.
Without Kike García, the bad news of the summer due to the serious injury that leaves him KO for four months, and still without Puado, the responsibility of the goal will fall on Roberto, called to explode this year.
Without forgetting Marcos Fernández's breakthrough in the summer matches, goals and protagonism that have led him to stay in the first team and fight today to be a starter.
The same role as Javi Hernández, another who is giving a hard time and will continue to do so.
As for the possible starting eleven that Manolo will expose against the granota team, several of his unquestionable ones from last year will be repeated, such as Dmitrovic, Omar, Cabrera, Urko and Expósito, along with signings like Unai Núñez and Calatrava, the one who has most impressed with the talent he has.
Levante faces the course with the permanence in its head and without being able to count on its star from the past Liga, a Carlos Espí who went to Real Madrid.
The five signings arrived so far will be in Manolo's call-up today, even the central Vajan Drkusic who was formalized on Friday, and a couple of them, Calatrava and Unai Núñez, are pointing to starters, without ruling out some surprise.
The only certain absence is Brugué, sanctioned by a direct red card that carries over from the past Liga.
