Viti's fibrillar rupture sidelines him for four to six weeks, forcing UD Las Palmas to rethink their right flank.

1. Podcast Faro episode 439 is a pre-match roundtable for Unión Deportiva Las Palmas supporters recorded during the 2024-25 Segunda División season. 2. Host Aitor records from a hotel abroad with improvised Wi-Fi; regular panelists are Ayose, Francisco ('el profesor,' the historical trivia segment host), and Álvaro (described as the technical host). 3. The episode's primary function is to preview UD Las Palmas vs Córdoba CF on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. in the Gran Canaria stadium while processing the week's squad news. 4. Francisco's 'ephemerides' segment notes Alfredo Ortuño's 35th birthday — Ortuño played for Las Palmas in the 2014-15 promotion season under Paco Herrera and scored in the promotion match against Zaragoza. 5. The segment also marks the third anniversary of the death of physiotherapist Arturo García, who worked for UD Las Palmas for 16 years and died at 44 of a heart attack; and the 72nd birthday of Pedro Luis Toledo Montenegro, who played four first-division seasons with Las Palmas from 1979 to 1983. 6. Viti's injury is confirmed as a fibrillary muscle rupture (hamstring), with official club projection of four to six weeks out; the panel notes he has a history of muscle injuries extending beyond initial estimates, suggesting he may not return until March. 7. Marc Cardona's contract has been rescinded by the club; the panel treats this as expected but debates whether it opens a transfer window slot that should be filled with a right-back given Viti's absence. 8. The panel argues Alex Suárez should not be permanently deployed at right-back because his value is as central defensive cover, and that Marvin or a new signing should fill the position instead. 9. Digi is announced as Las Palmas' new shirt sponsor replacing the Canary Islands government's regional sponsorship, which now enters as a subvention rather than a commercial sponsorship — meaning it cannot be counted toward the salary cap. 10. Lukovic (a striker) is attracting interest from Alavés; the panel acknowledges he would be the fifth-choice striker at Las Palmas but notes his physical profile is unique in the squad, and that thin striker depth is a concern if he leaves. 11. The tactical preview of Córdoba CF identifies three defensive weaknesses: slow central defenders who struggle to turn; poor set-piece defending; and deep wingbacks who have trouble recovering when the team splits defensively. 12. The panel notes Córdoba presses high but retreats into a mid-block, and that in the first-leg meeting Las Palmas found success by bypassing the press to exploit space behind — a pattern expected to recur. 13. Carracedo on Córdoba's right wing is flagged as the primary danger player who needs to be contained. 14. Córdoba currently has 32 points and has lost only six matches this season, indicating they are a competitive team despite Las Palmas' higher position. 15. The panel agrees the clean sheet is the top priority after the 4-1 defeat to Racing Santander, framing the Córdoba match as psychological rehabilitation for the defense. 16. Villasiro is noted as now registered and potentially available after previously being behind in fitness; the panel reports positive training-ground information about his speed and dribbling. 17. Marvin is discussed as the likely right-back starter if fit; several chat participants debate whether Ale García should have more minutes given his performances when given time. 18. The tone is informal and affectionate — Canarian Spanish, heavy audience interaction via live YouTube chat, running in-jokes about sponsor announcements and Francisco's upcoming musical promise. 19. Dedicated UD Las Palmas supporters following the 2024-25 Segunda División season will find this episode directly relevant. 20. Non-Spanish speakers or listeners without prior knowledge of UD Las Palmas squad and league context will find this episode inaccessible.
