Option off bench Mourino (ankle) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Levante.

Impact Mourino passed his late fitness assessment after coach Marcelino confirmed he would be evaluated over the final two training sessions ahead of the fixture, recovering enough to earn a spot in the squad despite the cautious approach taken by the club.
