Forcing way back for Levante clash Raillo (ankle) will travel with the squad for Sunday's crucial relegation battle against Levante and could play with an infiltration despite the sensations from his return to train...

Impact Raillo underwent ankle ligament surgery just over 40 days ago and had been ruled out for the remainder of the season, but the desperate sporting situation has prompted the Mallorca captain to push himself to the limit to be available for the final fixtures. The center-back did not train last Thursday but completed part of Friday's session despite not feeling his best, insisting on being included in the squad and leaving the final decision for Sunday. Coach Martin Demichelis confirmed he would travel with the team, with the possibility of him featuring with a pain-killing injection not ruled out given the urgency of a fixture that will determine whether Mallorca remain in La Liga.

Ankle surgery ends season Raillo (ankle) has undergone surgery and will miss the remainder of the season, according to Mallorca Informa.

Impact Raillo's teammates displayed a banner of support before the Rayo Vallecano fixture, sending an emotional message of encouragement to both the defender and fellow injured player Mateo Joseph. The center-back underwent a successful surgery to his ankle last week and ends the campaign having made 23 La Liga appearances, contributing one assist, 25 tackles, 16 interceptions and 120 clearances before his season was cut short. The focus will now shift entirely to his rehabilitation, with Mallorca hoping to have him fully fit and ready to go for the start of next season.

Absent from squad Raillo (undisclosed) has been left out of the matchday squad for Saturday's clash against Real Madrid, according to the club.

Impact Raillo's absence was not flagged in advance and no official explanation has been provided, leaving his status uncertain heading into the coming weeks. The center-back had been a regular presence in Mallorca's back line, and his unexpected omission forces a reshuffle at the back with David Lopez or Marash Kumbulla the most likely candidates to step in against the Merengues.

Spotted in team training Raillo (undisclosed) was spotted in team training Friday and could be an option for Sunday's clash against Espanyol, according to Juanmi Sanchez from La Zona 10.

Impact Raillo was forced off in the last matchup against Osasuna with an injury but was back on the training pitch Friday testing how he feels, putting him in the mix for Sunday's clash against Espanyol depending on his final sensations. That would be a big boost for Mallorca if he is able to make the squad since he has been an undisputed starter in the back line and a key presence in the defense. If he is unable to suit up against the Catalans, David Lopez is the most likely candidate to step into the starting XI for that match.

Forced off injured Raillo (undisclosed) was forced off injured in the second half of Saturday's clash against Osasuna, according to Deportes COPE Baleares.

Impact Raillo was forced off in the 53rd minute of Saturday's clash with Osasuna after appearing to pick up an injury. The center-back will undergo further evaluation in the coming days to determine the severity of the issue, with Mallorca hoping it proves minor given he has been an undisputed starter in central defense this season. If he ends up missing time, David Lopez could be in line for a larger role along the back line until Marash Kumbulla (undisclosed) returns to full fitness.

Option Monday Raillo (undisclosed) is on the bench for Monday's match against Sevilla.

Impact Raillo is back in the team sheet despite being doubtful, with the defender still fit enough to get some time from the bench. He is typically a regular starter, likely to earn that spot back once fully fit and having his legs tested.

Doubtful for Monday Raillo (undisclosed) is doubtful for Monday's match against Sevilla, according to Alvaro Moreno of Marca.

Impact Raillo is going ot need some testing come Monday's contest, with the defender now a late call but more doubtful than likely to play. That said, this is something to watch, starting in all but three games this season. With Marash Kumbulla out as well, the club will turn to David Lopez and Martin Valjent to start if Raillo is unavailable.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Training away from group Raillo (undisclosed) is training away from the group and is doubtful to play against Sevilla on Monday, according to Juanmi Sanchez of Ultima Hora.

Impact Raillo has been an unused sub in Mallorca's last two matches, and it wouldn't be surprising if he's not available for Monday's contest, although a final decision on his status will be made over the weekend. The potential absence of Raillo would further strain Mallorca's defensive depth, as Toni Lato (undisclosed) and Marash Kumbulla (undisclosed) have also trained away from the group on a limited basis this week.

Impact Raillo suffered an acromioclavicular sprain in training last week but the issue seems to be only minor since he was spotted back in team training exactly one week later. This is great news for Mallorca since he is an undisputed starter and leader in defense and his return will boost the backline. If he had to start on the bench or miss the game against the Basques, Marash Kumbulla will be the one taking his spot for the game.

Deals with acromioclavicular sprain Raillo suffered an acromioclavicular sprain in training on Wednesday and is out for the time being, the club announced.

Impact Raillo will miss some time on the sidelines after suffering an acromioclavicular sprain in training on Wednesday.

Logs assist in draw Raillo delivered an assist and made one tackle, three clearances and two blocks during Friday's 1-1 draw against Valencia.

Impact Raillo didn't post big defensive numbers this time, but he made his impact early by setting up Samu Costa's opener, knocking the ball down perfectly before the 23rd-minute strike. His work on the less glamorous end hasn't been great over his last two outings, but considering he had four or more clearances in each of the 10 starts before that, there's every reason to think the center-back will get back to his usual level sooner rather than later.

He logged career-high marks in several categories, including minutes played, clearances and blocked shots, and this was the third straight season in which he recorded triple-digit clearances. It's unclear if Mallorca will be looking to bolster their defensive depth in the upcoming transfer window, but Raillo should remain a regular presence in the lineup as long as he stays healthy in 2025/26.
