Gael Alonso will miss FC Andorra's first match of 2026 against Ceuta at home. The Galician centre-back picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in the recent game against Deportivo de La Coruña, prompting the Spanish Football Federation's competition committee to impose a one-match suspension after he completed his booking cycle.
Coach Carles Manso must now plan without the defender for the fixture. Uncertainty also surrounds goalkeeper Jesús Owono's availability, as he remains on international duty with Equatorial Guinea at the Africa Cup of Nations. Owono started in his side's 2-1 defeat to Burkina Faso and is scheduled to face Sudan today.
FC Andorra's return to competitive action comes after the winter break, with the Ceuta clash marking their Primera RFEF opener for the new year.
