Oviedo Availability

Oviedo have multiple midfield and attacking concerns.

• B. Domingues (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Listed twice in the data, his absence is confirmed as a missing fixture.
• L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful, with his status repeated across the reports, underlining ongoing fitness uncertainty.
• O. Ejaria (Injury) is also doubtful, further reducing options between midfield and attack.

Alaves Availability

Alaves must cope with both suspension and injury doubts.

• F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined, ruling out a defensive option through disciplinary sanction.
• L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. As one of Alaves’ leading forwards, his availability is a key pre-match question.

Impact Summary

Alaves’ attacking output is heavily concentrated in their forwards: Toni Martínez has 12 league goals and 3 assists, while L. Boye has contributed 11 goals and 1 assist.

Oviedo’s absences are more structural than statistical, but the cluster of doubts in midfield and attack could limit rotation and in-game tactical flexibility.
