Footballer’s day off

FOOTBALL Club UD Almeria managed to sneak a day off on Tuesday, April 18 as they began the week with preparations for Saturday’s fixture on April 22.

Almeria will be playing host to Athletic Club de Bilbao from 4.15pm.

The team were given a day off so they could take a break be‐fore facing a new challenge such as trying to beat Athletic in a bid to take a new step towards First Division safety.

Pozo, who finally did not join the squad list in Madrid due to discomfort experienced during the last training session, as well as Akieme, have trained on the sidelines.

Mendes, who was forced to withdraw against Atletico de Madrid, is currently undergoing medical tests.

UD Almeria ‘B’ keeper Mer and Marciano, who played with the ‘B’ team against UD Torre del Mar on Sunday, April 16, joined the senior players in Monday’s session.

The footballers were back to work training on Wednesday, April 19.

The Lauricius winery’s turn came next, with an explanation of how its wines are made, followed by a tasting for the at‐tendees. This company has been making wine in the traditional way since 1984.
