Elche CF head coach Sebastián Beccacece confirmed today that the team intends to suffer only two losses when visiting Real Valladolid CF this Sunday at 9 PM, at Jose Zorrilla. Both outcomes were anticipated. John Chetauya continues to recover from a fractured fibula, and Carlos Clerc received a direct red card in the final match against Racing de Santander. The rest of the first team is expected to be present for the upcoming clash.

In the castle, Edgar Badia will start again in goal. San Román will line up in the back line as the second option. He will have seven defenders available: Mario Gaspar, Lautaro Blanco, Diego González, Pedro Bigas, Salinas, Álex Martín, and Carreira are prepared. The Franjiverde coach also has the usual Josan Ferrández and Nico Fernández Mercau in reserve roles, and the latest additions have integrated well into the group. Everyone is fit and ready after a recent minor setback. Diego González and Álex Martín have both recovered well from injuries and are back in full training with the squad.
In midfield Beccacece plans to deploy Cristian Salvador, Fidel Chaves, Tete Morente, Aleix Febas, Raúl Guti, Nico Castro, and Óscar Plano. On the attack, Mourad, Borja Garcés, and Sergio León are available for selection if needed. Plano has recently been able to compete against his own team in a few days of training, bringing experience to the central playmaking role.

Beccacece explained at a press conference that Rodri Mendoza will remain with the club’s reserve squad this week. Defender Pamies and goalkeeper Jesús López usually travel with the first team, but the coach indicated that only first team pros would travel for the trip to Castile. This approach emphasizes the preference for a streamlined squad with focused responsibilities on the road test against Valladolid.
The team is scheduled to train at Martínez Valero on Saturday morning at 9 o clock. They will travel to Valladolid by high speed train departing from Alicante at 17:40. The group will spend the night at a hotel in Valladolid before the match and will return to the base after the encounter.
