Alser play tomorrow in Almassora

During this World Championship break, the Asobal teams are undergoing a second pre-season to ensure they return to the second half of the championship with their batteries fully charged.

It is in this context that tomorrow's match between Alser BM Puerto Sagunto and Fraikin BM Granollers will take place in the Castellón town of Almassora, from 8 pm, as part of the II Jorge Clausell Memorial.

Alser have called up their entire squad, including youth goalkeeper Samuel Ibáñez, a player in the red-and-white ranks who came through the Handbol Almassora academy. This match is precisely one of the reciprocal commitments set out in the Sports Collaboration Agreement signed by both organisations last year.

The chosen opponents are the sensation of the first half of the season. Manolo Cadenas's men finished the first half in third place. This excellent sporting position is marred only by the particular financial difficulties facing the Vallès club as it seeks to complete the remainder of the league campaign. In sporting terms, Fraikin will be without World Championship player Ivan Nikcevic, who is representing Serbia, as well as the injured Puig and Manel Pérez, who are in the final stages of recovering from their injuries.

In short, this is a good preparation test for the red-and-whites and an excellent opportunity for Castellón's large handball following to enjoy two Asobal teams.
