Castellón v Granada on Easter Monday: ins and outs, doubts, and the Tincho case | OneFootball

Castellón host Granada on Easter Monday in LaLiga Hypermotion, the 34th round with nine games left. According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the club has opened ticket sales.

A 2-0 win over Almería ended six without victory, with Ronaldo Pompeu scoring before the break and Pablo Santiago in stoppage time.

Castellón’s play-off hopes remain alive. Granada have pulled clear of relegation to Primera Federación, lost 2-0 to Las Palmas and will not fight for promotion.

Hernández’s team even touched automatic places and now lean on SkyFi Castalia to strengthen their bid.

International returns are expected, with Awer Mabil and Cipenga back after FIFA duty.

Mabil featured in Australia’s 1-0 over Cameroon, then scored in the 5-1 against Curaçao in Melbourne on Tuesday morning.

Cipenga delivered the corner for Axel Tuanzebe’s 100th-minute winner as DR Congo beat Jamaica 1-0 in Guadalajara. The celebrations might carry a toll.

Beñat Gerenabarrena will be available after a strict second yellow and will go straight back into the XI.

Douglas Aurélio remains out after a knee relapse and has not played since 22 November. Agustín Sienra is sidelined with muscle problems, last featuring on 15 March.

Lucas Alcázar is a doubt after limping off near half-time clutching his right knee. The turnaround limits optimism, though he stayed on for a spell.

Tincho replaced Alcázar, then was sent off for two bookings late on. As RFEF committees do not meet on Good Friday, he can face Granada but will miss Mirandés next.
