However, there will be no place on the bench for Valentin Rosier, who serves a one-game suspension following his second yellow at Estadio de la Ceramica last weekend.

As for Elche, there are no outright injury absentees for this game, but the visitors have a quartet of doubts, including Martim Neto, Yago Santiago, Alvaro Rodriguez and Adria Pedrosa.
