Cultural Leonesa eye survival at Castellón as Ribeiro could return and Mellot banned | OneFootball

Second-bottom Cultural Leonesa head to SkyFi Castalia on Monday at 20:30, chasing crucial survival points. Rubén de la Barrera expects to regain options for the visit to CD Castellón.

According to El Periódico Mediterráneo, forward Lucas Ribeiro is progressing in his recovery and could get minutes. Midfielder Nemanja Radonja is in line to start after missing the last game with a heavy rib blow.

The disciplinary committee set out bans for the next round. As expected, Castellón will be without full-back Jeremy Mellot after his red card in the defeat in Gijón, while coach Pablo Hernández can return to the dugout after serving a two-match suspension for his dismissal against Racing de Santander. Cultural Leonesa have no players suspended.

Castellón will take part in LaLiga's new Jornada Retro. The club will release a limited-edition retro kit, to be unveiled on Monday night alongside other teams at Madrid Fashion Week. The round runs from 10 to 13 April.

For that matchday, Castellón are away to Mirandés, with day and kick-off still to be confirmed. It will be an unprecedented initiative in European professional football, with most teams playing in kits inspired by iconic editions from their past.
