Leganés goalkeeper Luca Zidane loses starting position

Leganés goalkeeper Luca Zidane has been moved to the bench, losing his starting role for the club's recent match against Mallorca. He was replaced by Raúl Fernández, who regained his position following a previous expulsion.

Coach Luis Carrión addressed the decision, stating that the change was based on tactical considerations and a desire to foster competition between the goalkeepers. Carrión emphasized that the move does not reflect a lack of confidence in Zidane, describing him as one of the best goalkeepers in his category.

The decision follows a difficult period for both the player and the team, including a series of four consecutive league defeats and underwhelming individual performances by Zidane in matches against Cádiz and Almería. Fernández's return coincided with a 1-1 draw against Mallorca, ending the team's losing streak.
