Impact Cabrera featured in 37 of 38 La Liga fixtures this season, continuing to demonstrate that he remains one of the most reliable and commanding defenders in the division despite his advancing years. Cabrera has now made 245 official appearances for Espanyol since joining in January 2020, placing him among the 20 players with the most outings in the club's history, while also contributing seven goals across recent top-flight campaigns through his threat from set pieces. The extension secures the continuity of one of the club's most emblematic figures both on and off the pitch, with coach Manolo Gonzalez having relied on him as the undisputed leader of the defensive line throughout what has been a demanding survival battle season.

He has now delivered goal contributions in back-to-back matches after his assist in the previous game and is enjoying his most productive offensive campaign, with six goals and three assists in 35 starts.

Impact Lozano picked up his tenth yellow card in La Liga play and will serve a one-match suspension for Sunday's season finale against Real Sociedad. The midfielder has been a locked-in starter for the Catalans, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Ramon Terrats expected to get a larger role for that clash. Lozano ends the season with two goals, one assist, 23 chances created and 29 crosses, all career highs, across 33 La Liga appearances (28 starts).

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Fernando Calero - Suspension over Calero has cleared his one-game ban after Wednesday's match against Athletic Club.

Impact Calero made five straight starts prior to his absence in the midweek clash, so he should have a good chance to return in Clemens Riedel's place going forward. The experienced defender is averaging 4.7 clearances and 1.0 interceptions per game this campaign, but he lacks offensive upside in his center-back role.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Tyrhys Dolan - No longer suspended Dolan is eligible for selection after completing his card accumulation ban.
