Sarabia's early Espanyol spell shows signs of progress

Eder Sarabia's first steps as Espanyol coach have been positive, according to a report by AS. The outlet said the squad has been revitalized within a week and that players who appeared relegated to the bench or stands, such as Pere Milla, are being given playing time.

AS reported that Espanyol had 63.8 percent possession against Deportivo, and that the team outperformed its opponent in every area except scoring, with the goal the only thing missing.

The report also noted that signs of improvement were already visible under interim coach Sergio García against Villarreal, and that Sarabia continued to build on them against Deportivo. The outlet framed its assessment as early evidence rather than a definitive verdict on Sarabia's tenure.
