Once again, injuries plague Isco Alarcón. After a blow received in a friendly Málaga-Betis in the summer, the attacking midfielder had to be out for several months. He returned and in one of his first matches, he got injured again.

After a clash with Sofyan Amrabat and not fully recovering from the injury, the Málaga star will have to undergo surgery and will be out for at least another month. A tough year for him.

Tragedies in Valencia

Mourning has taken over football in Valencia in just 24 hours.

Early in the day, we learned of the passing of Delia Bullido, a Valencian journalist who dedicated 25 years of her life to Levante and left us at just 49 years old after a long illness.

Shortly after, we learned of the passing of Fernando Martín, coach of Valencia B women's team and three of his children in Indonesia. The boat they were traveling on with his wife and another daughter, who survived, sank and claimed the lives of the four. Very hard news.
