Carlos Dotor: Newly-promoted Malaga continued preparations for their return to La Liga by signing midfielder Carlos Dotor on loan from Celta Vigo for a second consecutive season, the club announced on Tuesday.

Dotor returns to Malaga after helping the southern Spanish club end its top-flight exile by winning promotion from the second division last season.

The 25-year-old made 40 appearances for Malaga last season, scoring one goal and providing four assists. He became increasingly influential after Juanfran Funes was appointed first-team coach in November, prompting Funes to bring him back for the club's return to the top flight.
