Team News
Real Valladolid
Espanyol
- Real Valladolid has been actively reinforcing their squad over the summer, securing nine new recruits, such as Juanmi Latasa from Real Madrid and the prominent addition of Eray Comert from Valencia, who may debut in the starting lineup. Conversely, the team has seen the departure of five players, including Alvaro Negredo and midfielder Monchu.
- In terms of team availability, Kenedy's participation is uncertain for the upcoming game, while Andre Ferreira is suspended. Unfortunately, Real Valladolid will likely be missing goalkeeper Arnau Rafus on Monday due to a hernia issue, although they are expected to have a full-strength squad otherwise.
- The match on Monday promises to showcase several debutants, with Latasa and Amath Ndiaye likely to be featured in the starting lineup. Stipe Biuk, the standout signing of the summer in terms of transfer fee, is poised to make his mark in the team, with last season's leading goalscorer, Victor Meseguer, adding strength to the midfield following his permanent move from Granada.
- Espanyol's potential starting lineup may include Álvaro Tejero and Carlos Romero, while Irvin Cardona, Alejo Veliz, and Alex Král could begin on the bench. Edu Exposito is sidelined with a ligament injury.
- The absence of Braithwaite, who moved to Gremio after scoring 22 league goals last season, leaves a significant gap in Espanyol's lineup. Irvin Cardona, on loan from FC Augsburg, is expected to play in the forward position alongside new signings like Tejero, Veliz, Kral, and Romero.
- Javi Puado, a standout performer last season with 17 goals across all competitions, is likely to start for Espanyol. However, Edu Exposito will be missing due to injury, impacting the team's midfield options.
