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.

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.

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.
