Ovie Ejaria back in full training as Oviedo focus on Athletic de Bilbao | OneFootball

Ovie Ejaria trained fully as Oviedo turned to Saturday’s visit of Athletic de Bilbao at the Carlos Tartiere. According to as.com, this followed the Vallecas postponement.

Oviedo have asked to be awarded the three points, claiming Rayo Vallecano were negligent in relaying the pitch four days before. The squad aim to park the row and focus on football.

Results elsewhere in Primera were not unhelpful, but there is no room for ease. Work at El Requexón targets ending costly home slips. The only home wins are over Real Sociedad and Girona, both 1-0, Girona last week.

Almada has a fully fit squad. Ejaria matched team-mates’ intensity this morning, his lengthy injury seemingly behind him, though match fitness could take time.

He arrived last summer on Paunovic’s recommendation after a long spell out for personal reasons, quickly convincing the Serbian. He impressed in pre-season and early Liga rounds with technique and poise.

Physical issues then halted his momentum in a demanding competition. Now he has another chance under Almada, first to regain peak condition, then to prove he can handle the midfield workload, adding an option in the push for safety.
