The option of Molinero, who played in that position quite a few times last season, is the most feasible for the next meeting.
The coach will have to decide throughout the week if to opt for a change and go for Molinero and allow Unai Medina to play on the right or opt for a player in the B team, which seems unlikely given the rival coach, Rayo Vallecano.
The game is having negative consequences now, such as the expulsion of Damian Pérez in an action in which VAR was the decider for the referee to show the red card. This is a decision which many sportsmen may feel is excessive and even feel aggrieved because another similar foul, but by a player from Girona it was not punished in the same way.
Sporting returned with several players experiencing problems with muscle overloads, although all of them are expected to recover throughout the week, so the line-up against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday will not differ much from the one that played in Girona.
In addition to the forced change on the left back, José Alberto could also give Aitor García entry in that same position since the player already played a few minutes in Girona, in which he scored a great goal, after a week training with caution for a sprained ankle suffered in the last pre-season friendly.
The team underwent a recovery session on Monday as soon as they got off the plane, that landed in Asturias in the early afternoon, and in which Carlos Cordero did not participate in, with the club's permission, due to the his father's death. Therefore. on Tuesday he will rest to begin on Wednesday to prepare for the visit to Rayo Vallecano.
