The main news in the rojiblanco squad is the return of Nico Williams, who is back and available after overcoming muscle problems in the rectus anterior. The winger has already rejoined training with the group and could get his first minutes after several weeks out, although it is not ruled out that he starts from the bench.

The bad news is the absence of Gorka Guruzeta, who suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee during the most recent match against Valencia. A serious injury that points to keeping him out for the rest of the season.

Nor will Oihan Sancet, who continues recovering from his problems in the soleus, Álvaro Djaló and Unai Egiluz, who is still going through his recovery process after having surgery on his knee.

Maroan and Iñaki Williams are options up front

The absence of Guruzeta forces Edin Terzic to look for solutions in attack. Maroan Sannadi and Iñaki Williams are the main alternatives to fill the centre-forward role, while Berenguer could also play in more advanced positions.

For the upcoming fantasy matchdays, you will need to pay special attention to the distribution of minutes between the two strikers and to the gradual return of Nico Williams, whose comeback is important news for the rojiblanco attack.
