The main new development is Romain Del Castillo, who is already ready to compete after joining the training sessions this week. Ramis confirmed that he will be in the squad: "Yes, he is going to be included in the squad. And, obviously, if he is called up, there is the possibility that he could get minutes". The coach even went further when asked about the possibility of him starting. "Yes, he can even play from the start". Therefore, Del Castillo is already a real option to go straight into the starting XI.

Ramis has high expectations for Del Castillo

The coach also explained what he expects from the new player. Ramis highlighted his ability to play wide or on the inside, his arrival into the box, his goal threat, and his ease in linking up. "He has an end product, he scores, he gets into the area and he always plays with intent". Although he still needs to fully adapt to the team's automatisms, the coach said he has seen him very well throughout the week.

Aimar Oroz and Herrando, confirmed absences

Worse news for Aimar Oroz and Jorge Herrando. Both are ruled out for this matchday, along with Valentin Rosier, who continues with his recovery process. These absences will force Ramis to make changes to the team. The coach himself confirmed it: "At least, there will be two players who will get their chance because the ones who started the other day won't be able to do it tomorrow".

Plenty of alternatives to replace Herrando

Herrando's absence opens up competition especially in defense. Ramis named several options: Boyomo, Rockson Yeboah and Catena can play in the center of the back line. He also left the door open to using a midfielder in that position, or even moving Diego Rico back. "We will decide what structure we use. The final decision has not been made yet". Therefore, there is plenty of uncertainty about how the defensive line will be made up.

Possible changes due to the absences

The simultaneous absence of Aimar Oroz and Herrando guarantees changes compared to the last starting XI. Ramis did not want to reveal which players will benefit, but he made it clear that new opportunities will arise. In fantasy terms, Del Castillo is the name that gains the most value, while in defense the situation is much more open among Boyomo, Catena, Yeboah and even Diego Rico.
