Available going forward Altimira's suspension is over and he can participate in upcoming league action.

Impact Altimira will be back in contention for future fixtures, but he could be once again relegated to substitute duty, especially after Luismi Cruz performed well in his absence. Altimira's return gives Deportivo a two-way option who can serve as a defender or winger on the right flank, having tallied three crosses, one chance created and five tackles over 150 minutes of play before his ban.

SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE

Set for red-card suspension Altimira received a red card in stoppage time of Sunday's 3-1 win over Valencia.

Impact Altimira had performed well as a substitute, contributing a variety of defensive actions, but he was sent off after a double argument in the final minutes of the game. This means the wide player will be ineligible for the next league game versus Villarreal and could bounce back in the Sept. 13 visit to Getafe. Given that he was used as a bench option in the last match, his absence won't alter the starting lineup but will limit the team's rotation capacity on the right side, where Ximo Navarro and Luismi Cruz should stay put in defense and midfield, respectively.

Starting Monday Altimira (knee) is in the starting XI for Monday's match against Elche.

Impact Altimira has recovered in time for the season opener as Deportivo debuts in La Liga after their promotion last campaign. This leaves the defender in a starting role to begin the season, taking over a spot on the right side of the defense. He has earned decent time in La Liga play before, as he served with Villarreal and Leganes in past seasons, giving Depotivo an option in the defense with a bit of experience in the league.

Doubtful for Elche opener Altimira is a doubt for Monday's season opener against Elche, according to La Opinion de Coruna.

Impact Altimira had been limited in training in recent days, missing the club's Teresa Herrera Trophy match against Real Madrid, and this update confirms the doubt remains heading into the league opener. He would be expected to start if fully healthy, and Ximo Navarro is expected to start at right back in his place if Altimira remains unavailable. Altimira is expected to be reassessed as Deportivo finalizes its squad for Monday's match.

Not in squad for Teresa Herrera Altimira (knee) isn't in the squad for the Teresa Herrera Trophy against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Impact This isn't much of a surprise, as Altimira has been limited in training in recent days. The midfielder should be a starter if healthy, but the absence here means he'll have a tough time trying to be fit enough for the 2026/27 Liga opener against Elche on Monday.

Limited in training Altimira (knee) trained apart from the group with the rehabilitation coach ahead of Saturday's preseason friendly against Genoa, per the club's official website.

Impact Altimira's issue is still keeping him away from team practice, casting doubt over his participation in the league season kickoff. Another player such as Ximo Navarro or David Mella will cover his position while the medical staff evaluates his progress. The next few days will be telling in terms of whether this is a precautionary measure or something that costs him time at the start of the regular season. Whenever he's available, Altimira will contend for starts on the right flank, but he'll need to regain form, having featured in just one practice match so far.

Impact Altimira was forced off in the 27th minute of Saturday's friendly against Oviedo, and his individualized work now marks the next step in his recovery process.

JULY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Injured in friendly Altimira was forced to leave the field in the 27th minute of Saturday's friendly game versus Oviedo.

Impact Altimira was apparently dealing with some muscular pain that prevented him from completing the preseason contest. While it remains to be seen if he'll end up sustaining a major injury, this situation adds a blow to a defense that could also be without Miguel Loureiro (undisclosed) at the beginning of the 2026/27 season. Still, Altimira has some time to recover before official action starts, and he could feature on the right flank as soon as he recovers fully.

JULY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Shown fifth yellow card Thursday Altimira received his fifth yellow card of the season in Thursday's 1-1 draw against Leganes.

Impact Altimira has earned a one-game suspension which he'll serve on May 4 against Sevilla. When in the starting lineup, the defender has been used most often as a wing-back, but it was midfielder Darko Brasanac who subbed on for him early in the last match, with Javi Hernandez moving to the left flank. Altimira's next chance to feature will come in a round 35 clash versus Espanyol once he has completed his ban.

APRIL 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Loaned to Leganes Altimira will join Leganes for the rest of the 2024/25 season on loan from Villarreal.

He played a limited role last season with the first team, only seeing 15 appearances, after mainly serving with the second team, seeing 27 appearances with them. That said, he will hope to see more time this season but will likely continue in a rotational role.
