Sporting Gijón will be without their two leading scorers for Sunday’s clash against Real Zaragoza at La Romareda. Jonathan Dubasin and Juan Otero have both been ruled out of the match, dealing a significant blow to coach Borja Jiménez’s offensive plans. Dubasin received a red card in the recent game against Málaga at La Rosaleda, while Otero picked up a yellow card that triggers a suspension due to accumulated bookings. Together, the duo has netted 29 goals this season—16 for Dubasin and 13 for Otero—underscoring their critical role in the team’s attack.
The match itself holds little competitive importance for Sporting, who have no further objectives this season, but it is vital for Zaragoza as they fight to avoid relegation to Primera Federación. The simultaneous absence of both key forwards presents a major challenge for Borja Jiménez in what is already a strange context for the club. The atmosphere has grown increasingly tense since news broke that Jiménez will not continue as manager next season.
