Makes surprise return to XI
Dotor (knee) is in the starting lineup after making a quick recovery from an injury that nearly ruled him out of the season opener.
Analysis: Dotor suffered a knee injury during a preseason friendly that initially ruled him out of the opening game, but after several days of partial training he was included in the squad and handed an immediate, surprising start rather than being eased in as a bench option. The midfielder had a standout season on loan at Malaga last year, making 40 official appearances with one goal and four assists as he established himself as a key player in the club's historic promotion to the First Division.
Ruled out for season opener
Dotor suffered a grade I tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee during Friday's friendly against Ceuta, according to Deportes COPE Malaga.
Analysis: Dotor will miss Malaga's season opener against Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano as a result, with his recovery period estimated at around two to three weeks pending his progress. Coach Juanfran Funes' concern following the match proved justified, as Dotor had to leave the field due to the joint injury. The coaching staff loses one of its key midfielders right before the start of the season. Dotor is expected to be reassessed as his recovery advances.
