Key Points

Pablo Hernández will have to put some big pieces in order ahead of CD Castellón's match against AD Ceuta in LaLiga Hypermotion as five misses from his record. According to the club update, a suspension, an injury, and three players on duty with their respective national teams are the reasons for the shortage. As current division leaders, the timing of this losing streak is sensitive, especially as every point counts in the race to the top of the table. Most glaring in defense is the loss of Jérémy Mellot, who will miss the game due to suspension following his red card against Leganés. As a result, Hernández is expected to reshape the back: Alberto Jiménez and Agustín Sienra will remain in the middle as central defenders, while Lucas Alcázar is expected to come in to fill the left-back spot. A compact defense is important against Ceuta, so the fit of Alcázar and the coordination of Jiménez and Sienra are key to keep the back line strong. In the middle, the injury of Jari Vlack was an additional blow. The Dutch midfielder is nursing an ankle sprain and is unavailable for the match. Vlack's absence means Hernández will have to find a balance between ball-winning and midfield distribution from other options in his group. Meanwhile, three other players will also not be able to benefit because they are on international duty. That includes Maty Orozco, who remains with Colombia's national team after making his senior debut—a huge personal achievement for him, even if it means an extra test of Castellón's bench depth. Also absent is Amir Saipi who is assigned to Kosovo, and Rodrigo Rêgo who is fresh from scoring a goal for Portugal U21. These three losses affect the rotation at various positions and place greater responsibility on the replacements. All in all, it was a test of the depth and adaptability of Hernández's team. Smart first XI conditioning and timely changes in in-game management are needed to maintain the momentum as the category leader. It could also open up an opportunity for those who are rarely given minutes to show their worth, especially during tight calendar periods. As the match day approaches, supporters will expect the defensive shape to be clear and the midfield to be well connected even without Vlack. On offense, transition speed and set-piece execution will be important to offset personnel deficiencies. The official starting XI will still be awaited before the kick-off whistle on Sunday, but it is clear that Hernández will need the right mix and discipline to get AD Ceuta through the middle of a losing streak.

What's next

Pablo Hernández is expected to continue building his first XI despite these absences. New adjustments to the team's defense and midfield will be key to maintaining their form against AD Ceuta. Players like Alberto Jiménez and Agustín Sienra will have to show their ability to keep CD Castellón's defense strong.
