Sporting Gijon will start preseason in Mareo in less than two weeks.

What will happen with the fullbacks?

The club will assess Iker Martínez and Alex Diego as options for the first team. With Oliván's departure and Pablo García's uncertain situation, Sporting Gijon is looking for an offensive fullback.

Why is it important?

The fullback position is crucial in Nicolás Larcamón's system. Sporting Gijon needs a fullback who can offer good performance on the left flank.

What comes next?

The plan is to analyze the two fullbacks in the first weeks of preparation. If they earn it, they can join the first team more definitively. The context is different on the right flank, but the approach is similar. The club has conveyed to Guille Rosas the importance they want him to have in the project. | Stat | Value | | League standing | 9th in Segunda División | | Points | 61 | | Games played | 42 | | Wins | 18 | | Losses | 17 | | Goal difference | +6 |

Sporting Gijon is 21 points behind leader Racing Santander. The last result was a 2-1 win against Granada CF on May 30, 2026. The team is on a 5-game winning streak.
