Fran Pérez
RAYFit for Thursday
Perez (back) is an option for play moving forward, according to manager Inigo Perez. "Fran will be available."
Analysis: Perez is back in the mix after a slight back injury left him out for a few weeks, with the midfielder returning to play against Espanyol. This gives the club back a starter of five of his past seven appearances, potentially reclaiming the role immediately. However, he has held more of a rotational role this campaign in total, starting in 10 of his 25 appearances.
Trains partially
Perez completed only half of Monday's team training session before leaving to receive treatment on his persistent back problem, leaving his availability for Thursday's clash against Espanyol uncertain, according to La Grada.
Analysis: Perez has been managing a back issue for around one month and the inability to complete a full team session is a concern for Rayo heading into another important fixture. His situation adds to the growing list of fitness doubts for coach Inigo Perez's side heading into Thursday's clash, with the club already stretched across multiple positions due to injury and suspension. The club will assess his condition over the coming days before making a final call on his involvement against Espanyol.
