Real Oviedo trains again and unveils Leo Sequeira
Real Oviedo returned to training on Monday at El Requexón, with the clear goal of regaining winning form before Friday's clash against Deportivo Alavés. Managed by Álvaro Cervera, the squad worked on Pitch 4 and is set to officially present new signing midfielder Leo Sequeira at 13:45.
What does the upcoming Alavés match mean?
The Friday fixture, kicking off at 21:00 at Carlos Tartiere, offers a crucial chance to pick up points. Real Oviedo arrives with a recent LLLDL run and sits 20th in the final 2025 table, with 29 points (6 wins, 11 draws, 21 losses). A win could bring the club closer to safety, though they remain 65 points behind leaders Barcelona.
Who is Leo Sequeira and what does he bring?
Leo Sequeira, officially presented at 13:45, is a 23‑year‑old midfielder from Portuguese football. His arrival bolsters the midfield, where creativity has been lacking; the team has scored only 26 goals and conceded 60, a -34 goal difference. The new signing aims to add vision and control, elements Cervera has highlighted as priorities.
How will preparation continue after training?
The next session is scheduled for 10:30 on Saturday at El Requexón, where Cervera will fine‑tune tactical details. The agenda includes possession drills and set‑piece scenarios, aiming to improve offensive efficiency and defensive solidity. With the pressure of the relegation battle, every session matters before the Alavés showdown.
What lies ahead for Real Oviedo this season?
With the new campaign yet to start, Real Oviedo remains locked in the fight for LaLiga survival. Having netted 26 goals and allowed 60, there is ample room for improvement. The club will look to turn draws into wins and cut down defeats, while the new signing integrates into the squad. Every point will be vital to climb the table and distance themselves from the gap separating them from the leaders.
