Impact Palazon had been forced off just 17 minutes into a recent match against Alaves after feeling discomfort in his left leg, and this confirmed timeline costs Rayo Vallecano its captain and one of its main attacking references for one of the season's most demanding fixtures. Randy Nteka figures to continue deputizing for him in the attacking midfield role during his absence.

Spotted in training Palazon (strain) was shown in the background of a training picture posted by the club Thursday.

Impact Palazon appears to be recovered and taking part in group practice, though it remains to be seen if he's ready for meaningful minutes after being forced off in his last start on Aug. 20. If fully fit, the attacking midfielder will likely play a role in upcoming fixtures, limiting Randy Nteka to a substitute spot and sharing offensive responsibilities with Jorge De Frutos and Sergio Camello. In any case, Palazon is still looking for his first goal or assist of the season, recording one shot and tree crosses across 81 minutes of league play.

Exits with injury Thursday Palazon exited Thursday's game against Alaves with a muscular injury in the first half.

Impact Palazon looked active in the opening 15 minutes of the match before departing, and further tests will be needed to determine the extent of the injury. Randy Nteka took his place in the lineup, and he could be among the candidates to earn a bigger role moving forward if Palazon is forced to miss time. Rayo's next match is against Barcelona on Monday, Aug. 31.

Eligible for season opener Palazon will be allowed to play since the beginning of the 2026/27 season after the High Court of Justice of Madrid provisionally suspended his ban, per El Chiringuito.

Impact Palazon had yet to serve the last two of the seven La Liga games he was suspended for, but Rayo exhausted its avenues of appeal to enable the midfielder to take part in the opening matches of the campaign. He'll immediately regain his status as one of the squad's greatest offensive threats, potentially playing alongside Alvaro Garcia and Jorge De Frutos in a three-man attacking midfield, pushing Pedro Diaz to a bench spot. Last season wasn't Palazzo's most productive period, but he managed to score three goals plus three assists across 31 league appearances (27 starts). Additionally, he has been the squad's top set-piece taker when available.

The suspension is a significant blow for Rayo, as Palazon had been one of their most important creative outlets this season, with three goals and three assists in La Liga and a key role in their Conference League campaign. Pedro Diaz is expected to take on a larger role in attacking midfield during his absence, though replacing Palazon's output will be a difficult task for coach Inigo Perez in the final stretch of the season.

Limited impact so far Palazon has one goal and two assists in 12 Liga appearances this season.

Impact Palazon is averaging over one shot and one chance created per match, but the end product has been lacking.

Strong start to season Palazon scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), five crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Friday's 3-1 victory versus Girona.

Impact The 2025-26 La Liga will mark Palazon's fifth, all for Rayo Vallecano. 2024-25 marked one of the midfielder's stronger seasons, in which he logged eight G/A, split evenly between goals and assists. The prior season is not his best though, as his 2022-23 campaign saw him log 14 G/A, with nine goals and five assists. Consistency in that department has been Palazon's problem, but he is off to an adequate start at preventing the issue from being a recurring one.
