Impact Affengruber accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga and will be suspended for the clash against Osasuna on Friday.

Buba Sangare - Not available with new club Sangare (undisclosed) is not an option for Saturday's clash against Real Sociedad, coach Eder Sarabia said in the press conference, according to Pasion Franjiverde.

Impact Sangare arrived in Elche this week after joining from AS Roma and isn't yet an option for his new club. The reason for his unavailability remains unclear, as it could stem from a lack of match fitness or an undisclosed injury. That said, Sangare is expected to fill a rotational role on the right flank once available, so his absence does not affect the current starting setup.

Rafa Mir - Not fit to play yet Mir (hamstring) is still not an option for Elche despite resuming team training in recent weeks, coach Eder Sarabia said in the press conference, according to Pasion Franjiverde.

Impact Mir has been back in team training since a few weeks but didn't fully recover yet from the hamstring injury that sidelined him since early January. The striker will hope to recover ahead of next week's fixture since he was an undisputed starter in the frontline for the Franjiverdes prior to the setback, therefore his absence forces changes in the frontline, with Alvaro Rodriguez dealing with a larger role while he is out.

Josan - Remains out Josan (undisclosed) remains out for the time being due to injury, coach Eder Sarabia said in the press conference, according to Pasion Franjiverde.

Buba Sangare - Loaned to Elche Sangare has completed a loan move from AS Roma to Elche until the end of the season, with an option to buy, his new club announced.

Impact Sangare is a right back developed in Levante's youth system before continuing his progression at Roma, where he gained experience in a high level environment. He returns to Elche to join the first team, bringing pace, strong work rate down the flank, defensive intensity, and a high level of commitment. He will be a nice rotational option, competing with Hector Fort on the right flank.

Tete Morente - Returns to Elche Morente is back in Elche following his time at Serie A side Lecce, the team announced Monday.

Impact Morente is rejoining a club for which he played between 2020 and 2024, contributing nine goals and eight assists across 94 La Liga matches in that period. The winger's most recent stint in Italy started well but slowed down, as he failed to make a direct contribution in his last 17 league contests. He'll likely contend with Alvaro Nunez and German Valera for the rest of the current season if Elche stick to a wing-back system.

Tete Morente - Released by Lecce Morente has been granted an early contract termination by Lecce.

Impact Morente was conspicuously absent for the recent tilt against Torino and will be able to seek a new team on his own past deadline day.

Aleix Febas - Suspension cleared Febas is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.
