Yeray Alvarez - Plays in Copa del Rey Alvarez (head) started and played the full 90 minutes in Wednesday's defeat to Valencia in the Copa del Rey semifinal.

Gabriel Paulista - Comes off injured in Copa del Rey Paulista was subbed out in the 81st minute of Wednesday's Copa del Rey semifinal victory against Athletic Bilbao.
Impact Paulista just made his first appearance since October last weekend after recovering from a hamstring injury, but he had to come off Wednesday in some discomfort. He will hope that this was just due to fatigue in getting back to full fitness, rather than a re-aggravation of his major injury. With Omar Alderete suspended for Saturday's clash against Valencia, Hugo Guillamon might move back into central defense if Paulista can't play at the weekend.
