Central midfielder Fabio Gonzalez will be missing the match against Vallecano due to an ankle injury and so is their right-back Alvaro Lemos. Besides, Saul Coco the centre-back will also miss the proceedings on Saturday as he is called to the national team. Garcia Pimienta is unlikely to rotate his squad as they are in desperate need of points.

The entire squad is fit for Rayo Vallecano for the match on Saturday. However, they are facing the risk of suspension for some of the players. Unai Lopez, Kike Perez, and Florian Lejuene have all received four yellow already in the season and may be suspended if they face one more. Julen Lopetegui is unlikely to rotate the squad for the match, keeping in mind they are coming against an in-form Las Palmas.
