Gutierrez to stay with the first team (for now)

According to Marca, the promising left back will be the only Castilla-player staying to train with the first squad week in week out this season (not counting 3^rd choice goalkeeper Altube). Park, Arribas, Blanco and Chust will return to training with Castilla, but the Spanish youngster has impressed Zidane. It is expected he will train with the first squad, but mainly play matches with Castilla for the rest of the season.

Javi Hernandez departs for Leganes

The versatile Canterano has joined the Segunda-side on a permanent transfer for the next four seasons. Pending official confirmation, the player has passed his medical and already trained with his new team. The defender was called up for eight La Liga-games last season and the second leg against Manchester City, but was not able to make his official debut with the first team. All the best Javi, and good luck in the future!
