He was subbed after 84 minutes. The regular starter has scored two and generated four assists this season, however his recent form has not been productive.

Impact Embarba played his part in Almeria's emphatic victory Saturday over Cadiz. He was the key playmaker down their attacking left flank making three key passes and a blocked shot along with the other contributions to his team's offensive plays. He created the assist for his team's first goal scored by Gonzalo Merero. The regular starter posted two assists and three goals this season, but it has been four matches since his last assist and seven since he last found the net.

Gonzalo Melero - Goal from bench in win Melero scored with his only shot on goal. He also played one cross (not accurate) and created two chances in Saturday's 6-1 win over Cadiz.

Impact Melero came on after 46 minutes Saturday for Edgar Gonzalez. His objective was to inject fresh attacking energy into Almeria to help counter their first half one goal deficit. The strategy worked with his striking an equalizer two minutes after taking to the pitch. It was a bright spot in what has been a poor season for the attacking midfielder, he contributed just this goal and one assist from 28 appearances (10 starts).

Sergio Arribas - Double strike from bench in comeback win Arribas fired seven shots, scoring from two of his on goal attempts. He also created a chance in Saturday's 6-1 win over Cadiz.

Impact Arribas came on from the bench after 46 minutes for Leo Baptistao. His role was to inject fresh attacking energy to his team as they sought to comeback from a goal down. The strategy worked perfectly, with the attacking midfielder hitting the net twice. He has closed out the season strongly, he also scored and created an assist in Almeria's last match. From 34 appearances (22 starts) he accrued four assists and nine goals this season.

Cesar Montes - Won't play in season finale Montes (undisclosed) won't play in the season finale against Cadiz on Saturday, Antonio del Rosal of Diario AS reports.

Impact Montes has picked up an injury in training and won't be available for the season finale, but his injury also puts his Copa America participation in doubt. This means Aleksandar Radovanovic at center-back alongside Chumi. Montes ends the 2023-24 season with 94 clearances, 22 tackles and 11 interceptions across 21 starts.

MAY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Largie Ramazani - Set for suspension return Ramazani completed his suspension and will be available for the season finale against Cadiz on Saturday.

Impact Ramazani will be available following a five-match ban, but he's not likely to be in the starting lineup, especially in a game where Almeria have nothing to play for since they got relegated already.

Sergio Arribas - Involved in both goals Arribas scored a goal and had an assist while taking two shots (one on goal), crossing six times (one accurate), creating two chances and making four tackles (winning two) during S...

Impact Arribas found the back of the net in the 41st minute before setting up Bruno Langa in the 66th to play a role in both Almeria goals while leading the team in crosses, chances created and tackles. The goal involvements were the first since March for Arribas who has started just two of Almeria's last seven matches.

Bruno Langa - Scores with lone shot Langa scored a goal with his lone shot while crossing three times inaccurately during Sunday's 2-2 draw with Mallorca.

Impact Langa found the back of the net in the 66th minute scoring Almeria's second goal. The goal was the first goal involvement for Langa as all eight of his league starts have come since February.

MAY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Edgar Gonzalez - Cleared to start Gonzalez (thigh) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Gonzalez returns after missing last week's match against Barcelona through injury. The midfielder has made three tackles and five clearances over his last three appearances as a defensive minded option in midfield.

MAY 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bruno Langa - Two shots in return to action Langa registered two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Thursday's 2-0 defeat against Barcelona.

Impact Langa picked up his fourth consecutive starting appearance in his return to action after missing the last two games. He registered his first shot on target in his nine appearances on the season, while it also marked his fourth straight game with at least 20 completed passes.

MAY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Adri Embarba - Fires three shots in loss Embarba had three shots (zero on goal), four crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Thursday's 2-0 loss versus Barcelona.

Impact Embarba continued his offensive focus with at least three shots for a third time in the last four games, but this marked the the second time in that span where he did not land a shot on target. On the other hand, he accounted for at least one chance created for a seventh consecutive outing and is up to 16 chances created over that stretch.

MAY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Maximiano - Concedes two in loss Maximiano recorded five saves and allowed two goals in Thursday's 2-0 defeat against Barcelona.

Ibrahima Kone - Makes return to bench Thursday Kone (coach's decision) is on the bench for Thursday's game against Barcelona.

Impact Kone was not on the bench in the previous match, but he's back on the bench after the late scratch of Edgar Gonzalez (thigh). That said, Kone is not expected to see many minutes, if any, off the bench.

MAY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksandar Radovanovic - Available off bench Thursday Radovanovic (hip) is on the bench for Thursday's game against Barcelona.

Impact Radovanovic has finally returned to the squad after a lengthy absence, and the defender will be an option off the bench. He's not likely to be ready to play a full match before the end of the season, but him being available off the bench adds depth to a defensive line that's already missing Edgar Gonzalez due to a thigh injury.

MAY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Edgar Gonzalez - Won't play vs. Barcelona Edgar won't play against FC Barcelona on Thursday due to a thigh injury, Antonio Martinez of MARCA reports.

Impact Edgar picked up an injury in training this week, and he won't be ready to face Barcelona. Plus, his presence in the final two games of the season is under serious doubt as well. This means Chumi and Cesar Montes will start at center-back on Thursday.

MAY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Aleksandar Radovanovic - Set to return to bench Radovanovic (hip) is expected to be an option for Thursday's match against Barcelona, according to manager Papa Mel. "Radovanovic is doing better, but not to play at the beginning....

Impact Radovanovic looks likely to make his return off the bench Thursday, getting time to test his legs before a full return. This is great news for the club, as he is a regular starter when fit but has missed the past five games. However, we will still have to wait until the team sheet is released, as there is a slight chance he is still left out.

Baba Iddrisu - Receives operation for appendicitis Baba is likely to miss the rest of the season after being operated on for his appendicitis, according to manager Papa Mel. "Baba has been operated on for appendicitis and it is a f...

Impact Baba looks likely to be sidelined for the remainder of the 2023/24 season, as he just underwent an operation. The midfielder has not started since March, so his absence shouldn't take an effect on the team. He will now look ahead to next season, hoping to be fit and carry no issues as the club enters the 2024/25 campaign.

MAY 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Cesar Montes - Set for suspension return Montes completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face FC Barcelona on Thursday.

Impact Montes will probably return to the starting lineup right away, in a move that would probably push Edgar Gonzalez to a midfield role. Montes had started in six of the last seven games he'd been available for before the suspension, racking up 30 clearances and four tackles in that span.
