Team News
Espanyol
Rayo Vallecano
- Espanyol will once again be without the services of two players on Saturday, with Leandro Cabrera and Edu Exposito unavailable for selection due to fitness problems.
- The Catalan outfit did not suffer any fresh issues against Atletico, though, and it would therefore not be a surprise to see the same XI take to the field for this clash.
- Diego Mendez remains on the sidelines through injury, but the capital side did not suffer any new problems in their home defeat to Barcelona last time out.
- Sergio Camello made his first start of the season against Barcelona, and the forward, who scored twice for Spain in the Olympic final, should continue in the final third.
- Head coach Perez could make a single change on Saturday, with team captain Oscar Valentin coming off against Barca in midweek.
- A debut for new signing James Rodriguez potentially coming off the bench.
