However, the trip became a a real odyssey for the team led by Lino López, who had to return to Ferrol and will go to the Basque Country again tomorrow to be able to play the match that was postponed until 18:00.

According to club sources, while the expedition was passing through Luarca, fires prevented the bus from continuing its journey. The the staff had to sleep in the vehicle, waiting to continue the march this Friday morning. “Seeing that they did not give guarantees that they would allow travel throughout the day, we decided to send several managers in cars to bring the players to Ferrol,” the club points out.

Finally, the players will rest during today’s day in Ferrol and tomorrow morning They will travel by plane to Bilbao to be able to play the game at 18:00 at the Azkoitia Pavilion
