Aiham Ousou - Dealing with ankle sprain Ousou is in question for Saturday's match against Real Madrid due to an ankle sprain, according to manager Mauricio Pellegrino. "With respect to the last match, Ousou's, who has ha...

Impact Ousou looks to be a late call for Saturday's match as he continues to deal with an ankle sprain he picked up in the club's last contest after coming off the field at halftime. Not much more is known about the injury now, but the club will hope he is an option, as he has started five of their past six games. He will likely face a late fitness test to decide his availability. If an option, he will likely start, but if not fit yet, expect Iza to move back to right-back while Ivan Alejo or Ruben Sobrino take over the right flank of the midfield.

Impact Mere hasn't played since March 2, but he was on the bench in four of Cadiz's last five matches, and this injury means he won't be an option the rest of the way. The defender ends the campaign with 31 clearances, eight tackles and eight interceptions across 10 appearances (eight starts) as a backup option for the defensive line.

Chris Ramos - Ends up on bench Ramos (hip) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Girona.

Impact Ramos will miss no time after dealing with a hip issue over the week as he lines up on the team sheet in a bench role. The forward will look to end the season in the starting XI now that he is fit, as he has only missed out on the starts in six matches this campaign.

Roger Marti - Makes return off bench Saturday Marti (ankle) came off the bench in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Barcelona, playing 14 minutes. He made three passes, committed two fouls and received one foul.

Impact Marti stepped on the field for the first time since Dec. 17, but he didn't have enough time to make an impact as Cadiz had to settle for a 1-0 loss to Barca. Marti's fitness levels will determine when he'll be ready to start, but it's worth noting he's been a starter in all but four of the games he's been available for in the current campaign.

Javier Hernandez - Picks up yellow-card suspension Javi Hernandez picked up his fifth yellow card of the season in Saturday's loss to Barcelona, and he'll be suspended for Cadiz's next match. He finished with three shots (one on ta...

Impact Hernandez recorded his sixth yellow card of the season, but since one of those bookings was removed earlier in January, he's now set to complete a one-game ban. This probably means Lucas Pires will deputise at left-back against Girona, while Hernandez's first chance to return to the XI will come against Mallorca on April 28.

He has been credited with 16 chances created, thus far, matching his total from the previous campaign, and his career best in a season with Cadiz, dating back to the 2020-2021 campaign.

Chris Ramos - Comes off holding hip Ramos was forced off in the 52nd minute of Saturday's match against Barcelona due to an apparent hip injury.

Impact Ramos had his day ended early Saturday, as he was forced off just after halftime, appearing to be affected in the hip after holding that region as he walked off the pitch. He will now undergo testing, hoping his injury was only minor, as he has started in 25 of his 31 appearances this campaign. He was replaced by Maxi Gomez, who will most likely continue in Ramos' role if he does miss time, with Gomez returning from an injury of his own this week.

Maxi Gomez - On bench to face Barcelona Gomez (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Gomez is making his return to the team sheet Saturday, finding a spot on the bench after missing the club's last contest due to a calf problem. The forward will now look to find the starting XI in the club's next match, as he did start in their past three contests leading up to his injury, although he has only started in 11 of his 24 appearances this season.

APRIL 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gonzalo Escalante - Sees drop in minutes Escalante went unused off the bench in the club's last match against Granada on March 29.

Impact Escalante has seen a severe drop in playtime over the past month, as he went from being a regular starter for the majority of the season to now having gone unused off the bench over the club's past three matches. This most likely is due to the midfielder's lack of production in the attack this season, mainly contributing in the defense while only having two goal contributions, both being assists. He will hope to get back to his starting role by the end of the season, although it does not appear that is coming anytime soon, with Rominigue Kouame seemingly having taken over that role.

APRIL 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Maxi Gomez - Training Wednesday Gomez (calf) was involved in team training Wednesday ahead of Saturday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Gomez has been out of action for the past two weeks after going down with a calf injury. However, it now looks as if he may return soon, as he was included in team training Wednesday. With that being said, he hopes this is enough to get back on the team sheet Saturday, although it may be more likely for the forward to take the field again on April 20 against Girona.
