Alaves make a decision on Toni Martínez ahead of the derby against Osasuna
Toni Martínez will not be available for this Sunday’s match at 18.30 at Mendizorroza. The forward continues recovering from a micro-tear in the sole of his right leg, which he suffered a week ago against Villarreal , and he has finally been left out of the squad.

DLThe absence of the Murcia attacker opens up a spot in a list with two new additions. Izei Hernández, a versatile player from the B team, has been drafted in by Quique Sánchez Flores, while Selu Diallo makes his first appearance in a matchday squad this season after being registered at the close of the transfer window.
The inclusion of Toni Martínez had been left pending until the last few hours. The coach had said beforehand that he wanted to wait to see how he progressed, but the forward is still not fully recovered and it has been decided that he will not take part against Osasuna.
The player will continue working at Ibaia with the aim of being available for next Saturday’s trip, at 14.00, to Racing at El Sardinero. His return, in any case, will depend on how he develops over the coming days. As it is a muscle injury, this type of problem usually needs between two and three weeks before the player can compete again.
More changes at Alavés for the derby
Aitor Mañas450.000€+190.000€ 3
DLAitor Mañas is set to take Toni Martínez’s place in the starting XI for the blue-and-white derby. His absence adds to that of Mikel Rodríguez, who this week suffered an anterior cruciate ligament rupture in his right knee. The player will have to go under the knife and will be sidelined for more than six months.
That injury also forces a reshuffle in midfield at Alavés. Denis Suárez starts with options to replace Mikel Rodríguez, although Carles Aleñá is also an alternative for Quique Sánchez Flores.
Selu Diallo, a Guinea midfielder much to the coach’s liking, could be handed his first official minutes for the blue-and-white side against Osasuna. The rest of the squad keeps the usual names from the previous three matchdays, including the youth player Xanet Olaiz. Facundo Garcés remains out due to FIFA’s ban and will not be able to play until November.
