Alejandro Primo - Making progress in recovery Primo (shoulder) is progressing well in his recovery from surgery undergone in April, according to coach Luis Castro. "Primo is progressing well."

Impact Primo has been sidelined for several months after undergoing shoulder surgery in April and has yet to receive clearance to return to competitive action. Coach Castro's latest comments suggest the goalkeeper is making encouraging progress in his rehabilitation, although no specific timetable has been provided for his return to full training or matchday availability. Primo served as Levante's third-choice goalkeeper last season behind Mathew Ryan and Pablo Cunat, meaning his continued absence has had limited impact on the team's goalkeeping rotation. Once fully recovered, he is expected to compete for a similar reserve role.

Hugo Sotelo - Remains sidelined indefinitely Sotelo remains unavailable for Levante as he continues recovering from a right knee sprain, according to coach Luis Castro. "Sotelo won't be there, it's logical."

Impact Sotelo has been sidelined since suffering a right knee sprain during the match against Barcelona, which marked his first start of the season. Unlike some of his injured teammates who have recently resumed partial training, the midfielder has yet to receive clearance to return to competitive action. Coach Castro's latest comments confirm that Sotelo remains out of contention, with no indication of when he might resume full training. His continued absence limits Levante's midfield depth, and his availability for subsequent fixtures will depend on his recovery progress.

Impact Etta is progressing in his recovery from a right rectus femoris injury, having recently resumed warmups and non-contact exercises alongside his teammates. Although the forward has yet to return to full training, manager Castro's latest comments suggest he could be available for selection as early as next week if his recovery continues without setbacks. Etta recorded six goals across 30 La Liga appearances last season, and his eventual return would provide Levante with an additional attacking option. Ivan Romero could continue leading the attack in the meantime, with Etta likely needing to rebuild his match fitness before competing for a starting role.
