The final matchday of the Tercera Liga season is approaching, with two fixtures moved forward to Saturday. This scheduling change sets the stage for the league champion, Manresa, to conclude its campaign in front of its home supporters.
Head coach Sergi Trullàs will have to navigate this season finale without the services of two key players. Forward Toni Badía and midfielder Aleix Díaz have been ruled out for the match, presenting a tactical challenge for the technical staff.
The list of unavailable players extends beyond those two. The squad will also be missing three individuals due to injury. Defenders Joan Cervós and Raúl Ferrer, along with midfielder Raúl Pérez, are all sidelined and will not be able to contribute on the pitch.
Compounding the selection issues, Manresa will also be without two players due to suspension. Guille Hernández and Mario Cantí are both serving sanctions and are therefore ineligible for the final fixture of the year.
Despite these significant absences, the occasion remains a celebratory one for the club and its fans. As the confirmed champions, Manresa will receive the traditional 'pasillo' guard of honor from their opponents before kickoff, a mark of respect for their successful season.
The match represents the last opportunity for the team to perform for their local supporters this season. While the title is already secured, the coaching staff will aim to put on a strong display and end the campaign on a positive note, even with a depleted roster.
