Castellón look to step up at Balaídos against Celta Fortuna | OneFootball

CD Castellón visit Balaídos tonight to face Celta Fortuna, aiming to move forward while continuing to assemble a new team in these early weeks. It is only matchday three, but wins help to cool the mood and create room to build.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, the summer window closes on Tuesday at 23.59 and has shaped the club’s first steps. The squad travelled to Vigo without defender José Albert, who has left on loan to Zamora, and further departures may follow.

The main doubt is Adam Jakobsen. The Danish forward was set to start against Sabadell but felt a twinge in the warm-up, did not play and appears unlikely to be available. Defenders Kostis and Brignani are ruled out.

Changes are possible. Centre-back Sienra is pushing to start, which could move Jeremy Mellot back to right-back after he filled in at centre-half against Sabadell at SkyFi Castalia. Álvaro Martín might operate higher, opening a slot for Doué alongside Barri in midfield.

Beyond names, head coach Pablo Hernández has asked for greater movement off the ball. Castellón want to rediscover the dynamic approach that stretches opponents across every channel, having fallen short of their potential in the goalless draw with Sabadell. Celta Fortuna arrive buoyant after promotion, which should make this a stern test.
