Jeremy Toljan - Returns from ban Toljan has returned from a one-game ban and is an option again.

Impact Toljan is done with his ban after only one match missed, set to play after a ban due to yellow card accumulation. He is their regular starter at right-back and has yet to miss a start all season until his ban, earning four goal contributions in 22 appearances.

Alan Matturro - Ben served Matturro is back from his suspension and is an option again.

Impact Matturro ended his suspension following Sunday's match, leaving him as an option again. With four straight starts ahead of his suspension, he will look to return to that role, although he has only started in six of his 10 appearances while also being unused.

Kervin Arriaga - Sent off in extra time Arriaga was shown a red card in extra time of Sunday's 2-0 loss to Valencia.

Impact Arriaga returned from injury Sunday but is quickly back on the sidelines, sent off due to a red card. This will suspend him for a game, set to miss out against Villarreal on Wednesday and return against Barcelona on Sunday. With Pablo Martinez (undisclosed) going down injured, the club will likely call Unai Vencedor or Oriol Rey to start in his place.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Martinez - Leaves injured Martinez was forced off in the 78th minute of Sunday's 2-0 loss to Valencia due to an injury, according to his club.

Impact Martinez had to leave late into Sunday's match, with the midfielder dealt an undisclosed injury. This could be a major loss for the club after he has started in eight straight games, set for testing after the match. Unai Vencedor entered the call in his place, a potential replacement for further missed time.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Moreno - Starts in defense Moreno (concussion) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Valencia.

Impact Moreno has recovered as expected and is immediately back in his starting role, a spot he should remain in. He has started in 13 of his 14 appearances this season, recording 17 tackles, 20 interceptions and 68 clearances in his time on the field.

FEBRUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Kervin Arriaga - Starting Sunday Arriaga (head) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Valencia.

Impact Arriaga is fit and an option again, with the midfielder recovering from his head injury to end up in the starting XI immediately. He should remain in this role, starting in 11 of his 16 appearances while recording one goal and one assist.

Unai Elgezabal - Could miss derby Elgezabal (undisclosed) didn't train with the team Saturday and is a doubt for Sunday's derby against Valencia, according to Mundo Levante.

Impact Elgezabal missed team training Saturday for undisclosed reasons and is now a real question mark heading into Sunday's derby against Valencia. This situation warrants close attention, especially since he had just returned last match from a long-term knee injury and could have picked up a setback. It would be a tough break for Levante, as he was lined up to start in central defense, and if he cannot go, Kervin Arriaga (head) could step in after recently working his way back to full fitness.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Ugo Raghouber - Doubtful for derby Raghouber (undisclosed) didn't train with the team Saturday and is a doubt for Sunday's derby against Valencia, according to Mundo Levante.

Impact Raghouber was absent from team training Saturday for undisclosed reasons and is now a legitimate doubt for Sunday's derby against Valencia. This is one to monitor closely, as he has locked down a regular starting role in midfield since arriving at the club, and any setback would shake up the lineup. If he cannot go, Unai Vencedor is the leading candidate to step into the starting XI and absorb those minutes.

FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE

Matias Moreno - Fully recovered Moreno (head) fully recovered and trained in full this week, making him a likely option for Sunday's clash derby against Valencia, according to Super Deporte.

Impact Moreno took a heavy knock in a head-to-head collision with Alexander Sorloth against Atletico, an incident that forced him to sit out the last matchup versus Athletic Club. The defender has now cleared concussion protocols, returned to full training this week and is trending toward being available for Sunday's derby against Valencia. He has been a locked-in starter for Levante all season and is expected to step right back into the starting XI and regain his spot in the heart of the backline.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Kervin Arriaga - Could be available Sunday Arriaga (head) is progressing well in his recovery from the injury he suffered against Athletic Club and could be an option for Sunday's derby against Valencia, according to Super...

Impact Arriaga is working on the side this week and following concussion protocols after the head knock he suffered with Unai Simon in Sunday's loss. The midfielder is trending in the right direction and could be in the mix for Sunday's derby against Valencia if he continues to progress. That said, he has mostly been a depth piece since new coach Luis Castro took over, so even if he is ruled out, it would not significantly alter the starting XI.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Elgezabal - Nets rare goal Elgezabal scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 4-2 loss against Athletic.

Impact Elgezabal would score a great goal Sunday, despite it being a rare one for the defender, bagging an overhead goal in the 81st minute. This is only his first goal of the season, coming after only three shots. He should start to work his way back into the starting XI after appearing off the bench, as he started in 11 of 14 appearances on the team sheet before his injury.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jon Ander Olasagasti - Scores in extra time Olasagasti scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (zero accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 4-2 defeat versus Athletic.

Impact Olasagasti appeared off the bench for 25 minutes Sunday, a seventh straight appearance from the bench. He would bag a goal late into the game in extra time, scoring the club's second of the match and his first goal of the season. This gives him two goal contributions in their past three games, also earning an assist from the bench.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Mathew Ryan - Concedes four against Athletic Ryan recorded three saves and allowed four goals in Sunday's 4-2 defeat against Athletic.

Impact Ryan was in for a rough outing Sunday, with the goalie only stopping three shots while allowing four past him. This comes after he earned a clean sheet last time out, remaining at four in 20 appearances this season. He will face Valencia in their next contest, unlikely to gain another goal contribution then.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Kervin Arriaga - Suffers head injury Arriaga has been released from the hospital after the head injury he suffered late in Sundays 4-2 loss to Athletic Club and has been cleared to return to Valencia, according to Dep...

Impact Arriaga logged 44 minutes off the bench in Sunday's loss to Athletic Club before a head collision forced him off and sent him to the hospital overnight. The midfielder has since been cleared to return to Valencia and will likely be monitored this week under protocols. Even if Arriaga ends up missing time, it would not impact the starting squad since he has largely been a bench piece since the arrival of new coach Luis Castro.

FEBRUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jeremy Toljan - Suspended one game Toljan will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Toljan accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga and will be suspended for the clash against Valencia on Sunday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been a regular starter at right-back for Levante, with Adrian de la Fuente likely sliding on the right of the defense for that game.

Alan Matturro - Sent off Sunday Matturro was shown a red card in the 17th minute of Sunday's match against Athletic.

Impact Matturro is heading to the sidelines after picking up a red card Sunday, sent off early in the 17th minute. He will miss next match against Valencia on Feb. 15 at least, potentially more time depending on his ruling. This will force a replacement, with Unai Elgezabal a likely replacement until Matturro is an option again.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Diego Pampin - Finds bench Pampin (calf) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Athletic.

Impact Pampin is with the team Sunday after some issues with a calf injury, as the defender is fit enough for the bench. He is more of a rotational option despite a start in his past two appearances, likely to remain in a depth role.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Elgezabal - Option to face Athletic Elgezabal (knee) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Athletic.

Impact Elgezabal was an option for Sunday and is fit after some late testing, with the defender an option from the bench. This ends a seven-match absence as he will look to return to a starting role in coming games, starting in 11 of his 14 appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Unai Elgezabal - Available against Athletic Club Elgezabal (knee) is back available for Sunday's clash against Athletic Club, coach Luis Castro said in the press conference.

Impact Elgezabal trained in full in recent days and is back available for Sunday's clash against Athletic Club. This is great news for Levante since the defender was an undisputed starter in the backline or midfield prior to his injury, although his status will have to be determined under new coach Luis Castro.

Diego Pampin - Back with group Pampin (calf) is back in training with the group and could be an option for Sunday's game against Athletic Club.

Impact Pampin has been working his way back from a calf injury and returned to training Thursday. He also completed a full session Friday, so all signs point toward him being available to return after missing the team's last three league games. Pampin has made just five Liga appearances this term, so he's not likely to have a big role even if he's cleared to return.
