Alba’s casualties against Las Palmas
Alba will face the challenge against the Canarian squad with the long-term absences of midfielder Cedeño and forward Higinio, who are joined by those of full-back Dani Bernabéu and goalkeeper Mariño, both also due to injury. Raúl Lizoain will occupy the goal, who faces the game with the hope of facing the team from his homeland.
The doubt will also remain until the last minute regarding midfielder Agus Medina, who has some discomfort in his ankle and which has already caused him to miss the last two league games.
Albacete Balompié’s numbers
Matchday 30 of competition in LaLiga Hypermotion is what can be expected from the Second Division: a tight fight on all fronts. The only team that can breathe easy is Racing de Santander, which has a seven-point advantage in the lead. Alba, with 36 points, is tied with a Valladolid that won and a Zaragoza that also did the same. In this way, the fight to avoid relegation tightens.

Manu Fuster: a special return
The Valencian attacking midfielder, who was part of the Albacete squad between 2019 and 2024, returns to what was once his home and will do so, probably, amidst a loud ovation. His numbers support him: he played 193 games and scored 34 goals wearing the Alba shirt.
