Alemao Injury: Dealing with groin injury

Alemao is dealing with a groin injury and isn't an option for the time being, coach Inigo Perez said in the press conference. "Starting with Alemao, he has a groin injury that he already had during his time at Oviedo. It's quite a troublesome injury; sometimes it makes you feel better, and other times it prevents you from training consistently. We have to see how it progresses, and depending on that, we'll know whether or not we'll have him available."

Alemao will miss a second game in a row since he is currently dealing with a recurrent groin injury that couldn't allow him to be fully fit. The striker featured off bench in his last three appearances prior to his injury, therefore his absence doesn't impact the starting XI.
