Deportivo Alavés keeps in suspense the participation of Lucas Boyé for Saturday's match at La Cerámica. The forward continues "under observation" due to discomfort in the adductor muscle that appeared in the Copa del Rey against Sevilla and has not subsided. In this scenario, the most influential piece of the Vitorian offensive scheme is a serious doubt for a key match in the team's reaction.

The infirmary and absences condition the group. In addition to the absences of Protesoni and Denis Suárez, there is also the disciplinary action weighing on Diarra and Mariano—who have been out of the recent call-ups due to technical decisions—FIFA's sanction on Garcés, and the ostracism of Maras. With this panorama, and considering Boyé among the uncertainties, Coudet has only 15 outfield players (excluding goalkeepers) available for an extremely challenging match. If the Argentine does not make it, it will force a reshuffling of an already limited front line.

With limited resources, the bench will rely on the reserve team to complete the roster. Names like Aitor Mañas are emerging to fill gaps in a makeshift call-up. Meanwhile, the Copa del Rey is already on the horizon with Alavés-Rayo on Wednesday, January 14 (9:00 PM), a game where the physical condition of several players will continue to be monitored daily. In Gasteiz, they are hopeful that the Argentine forward can return soon, but the priority is his full recovery before taking any risks.
