On the other side, Mallorca faces challenges with Antonio Sanchez suspended due to a red card. Takuma Asano is unavailable due to a muscle injury, while Kumbulla and Mascarell are under assessment. Dani Rodriguez will return after his suspension, and Vedat Muriqi, whose season has been marked by impressive performances, will lead their attack.
