Double blow for De Frutos: ankle injury and sent off from the bench
The victory of Rayo Vallecano over Racing de Santander left an important concern for fantasy managers. Jorge de Frutos had to leave the pitch with a twisted ankle and, minutes later, was sent off from the bench for protesting an refereeing decision.
Rayo Vallecano
The Rayo winger had started the match on matchday 4 and was one of the most dangerous players in Beñat San José's side. He was even close to scoring in the first half, with a shot that ended up hitting the post.

MDThe first bad news came in the second half. De Frutos suffered a twisted ankle and was substituted in the 64th minute, with Fran Pérez taking his place.
The player is now awaiting an update on his condition. It will be important to check how the joint responds over the next few hours and whether the club considers it necessary to carry out tests to determine the exact extent of the problem.
For now, there is no definitive diagnosis, so it will be especially important to follow the next training sessions at Rayo Vallecano.
Sent off from the bench in the 88th minute
The afternoon still had another setback in store for De Frutos. The end of the match was particularly heated after several refereeing decisions and the direct sending off of Fran Pérez.
De Frutos, who was already on the bench after being substituted, protested to the referee and also saw a direct red card in the 88th minute.
That means the attacker is guaranteed to miss the next La Liga match due to suspension, regardless of how his ankle develops. Now it will be necessary to wait for the referee's report and, afterwards, for the decision of the Disciplinary Committee to learn the final punishment.
What do we do with De Frutos in fantasy?
The situation changes considerably for managers who have the Rayo winger. Until now, he had been one of the team's most offensively influential players, but the combination of injury and sending off significantly increases the risk of keeping him in the short term.
The red card will already rule him out of playing, at least, the next league match. If, in addition, the ankle discomfort needs more time to recover or the suspension lasts more than one game, his absence could be extended.
The next few hours will be crucial to find out the two unknowns now surrounding the attacker: the extent of his ankle injury and the number of matches he will be suspended for due to his sending off.
