Six Almería Players Face Suspension Risk Ahead of Playoff First Leg

Almería must defeat Valladolid to secure a mathematical spot in the promotion playoffs as the third‑placed team. Defenders Chirino, Bonini and Nelson Monte, midfielders Gui Guedes and André Horta, and striker Miguel de la Fuente are each one yellow card away from suspension.

Any additional booking will see the player miss the first leg of the playoffs. The coaching staff is expected to manage their minutes carefully to avoid the fifth caution.

Bonini and de la Fuente are slated to start, making the disciplinary gamble even more critical.
