UD Almería 'B' player Quintanilla named in first-team squad list
The 22-year-old midfielder makes his senior team debut covering Baba's place. During the last few days, he has been training under the guidance of head coach Rubi
UD Almería 'B' midfielder Rubén Quintanilla has been named in UD Almería's squad list for this Sunday's match against SD Huesca at the El Alcoraz stadium (KO 6:30pm Spanish Time).
The young Catalan footballer, 22 years old, was signed this season for the second team from Mallorca 'B'. During the last few days, he has been training under the guidance of head coach Rubi and now he is making his senior team debut as other team-mates have done before.
Quintanilla is taking over Baba's place, since it was finally decided not to count on him in order to avoid his injury from getting worse. Furthermore, Lucas Robertone, who underwent surgery for a shoulder dislocation, will also miss out. The squad is made up of 22 players, 18 from the first team and 4 with squad numbers above 25, such as Paco Sanz, Gui Guedes, Rachad and Rubén Quintanilla.
The Rojiblancos had a final training session on Saturday morning, behind closed doors, at the UD Almería Stadium to prepare for the match. This Sunday, at 9am, the UD Almeria travelling squad are flying charter to Huesca and will return after the encounter.
