Karl Etta - Back available Thursday Etta (ribs) has returned to training and is available for Thursday's clash against Sevilla, the club posted.

Impact Etta's return to training is a positive development after the forward underwent scans to assess the extent of his rib injury. He is expected to come off the bench rather than return to the starting lineup, which is consistent with his role since early February. His availability gives the coaching staff an additional option heading into Thursday's fixture.

Karl Etta - Scoring drought reaches 16 games Eyong hasn't scored a goal for Levante since Oct. 26, 2025.

Impact The Cameroon forward has not only gone scoreless in his last 16 Liga appearances, but he has also lost his starting role and hasn't been part of the XI since Feb. 15. By now, it's safe to drop him in all formats, as he's not played more than 25 minutes in any of his last seven games and was an unused sub in the team's final game before the international break.

That said, Espi was dealing with knee issues in the second half and had to come off in the 75th minute after he could not keep going. He will be evaluated over the next few days to determine the extent of the issue and will hope to get right during the international break because the club is going to need him in its fight to avoid relegation by the end of the campaign.

The midfielder is in great form, recording one goal and one assist over his last two appearances for Levante while also creating four chances, whipping in eight crosses and taking five corners. Losada will now be hoping the head issue is minor so he can be ready to return right after the international break and help the club in its push to avoid relegation by the end of the campaign.
