Rayo Vallecano preview: No new absences
As has been the case in recent games, Rayo Vallecano will enter this clash with Diego Mendez unavailable because of a knee injury, making him the only absentee for the midweek fixture.
With Rayo’s unbeaten run now three in a row, boss Inigo Perez will avoid the temptation of shaking things up in his selection for this game, with the gaffer expected to keep faith in the attacking trio of Ilias Akhomach, Jorge de Frutos, and Fran Perez, while playmaker Isi Palazon continues to make things happen from the middle.
Predicted lineup: Batalla (GK), Ratiu, Lejeune, Mendy, Espino, Martin, Gumbau, Akhomach, Palazon, Perez & De Frutos
