Omar Mascarell - Off to AFCON Mascarell has been called up by Equatorial Guinea for the AFCON starting Dec. 21 and ending Jan. 18.

Impact Mascarell was called by Equatorial Guinea for the AFCON and will miss all the games until at least the clash against Rayo Vallecano on Jan. 11. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter in the heart of the game for Mallorca, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Manu Morlanes as the main option to replace him while he is out.

Samu Costa - Clears suspension Costa is no longer suspended and is an option moving forward for the club.

Impact Costa has served his suspension due to yellow cards accumulation in La Liga and is set to return in the next contest. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter in the heart of the game for Mallorca and will therefore claim back his role against Valencia on Friday.

Vedat Muriqi - Scores goal against Elche Muriqi scored one goal to go with eight shots (five on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Elche.

Impact Muriqi had a massive performance in several offensive categories, even though only one of his five attempts on target got past goalkeeper Inaki Pena, and it came in the 89th minute during the victory. In addition to the shots, the striker won eight duels and drew four fouls, contributions that are becoming a habit in his game. He has scored four goals over his last three home matchups for a total of nine goals, which represent the third-best record in the 2025/26 La Liga competition.

Sergi Darder - Creates four chances in victory Darder registered one shot (zero on goal), five crosses (three accurate), four scoring chances created and one corner in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Elche.

Impact Darder did his usual job as a set-piece taker and was barely denied an assist in the weekend's game. The four chances created were a new season-high tally for him and added to a total of seven in the last two league matches. He'll be reliable for playmaking numbers if he continues to see plenty of minutes in a No. 10 spot for the remainder of the campaign.

Omar Mascarell - Scores, assists versus Elche Mascarell scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 win against Elche. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.

Impact Mascarell had a rare involvement in offensive play as he surprised the opposing defense with a chip shot from outside the box in the 82nd minute, and completed a pass that led to Vedat Muriqi's goal in the 89th of the match. The midfielder opened his scoring and assisting counts in his 10th appearance of the 2025/26 season. Unfortunately for Mallorca he'll be away on international duty with Equatorial Guinea over the next few weeks, so Manu Morlanes and the no longer banned Samu Costa will have the task of maintaining a high level in the club's holding midfield.

Manu Morlanes - Scores, leaves with injury in win Morlanes scored a goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over Elche before being forced off with a muscular issue, about which coach Jagoba Arrasate said "Morlanes already had discomfort in hi...

Impact Morlanes opened the scoring through a right-footed shot to the near post in the fifth minute of Saturday's game. He apparently got hurt at some point in the first half and stayed on the pitch for a while longer until he could no longer continue. He's set to be assessed during the week to determine the severity of the blow. Considering that Omar Mascarell will be unavailable due to international duty, Samu Costa and Antonio Sanchez are options to play defensive midfield roles if Morlanes is ruled out.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Maffeo - Records own goal in win Maffeo recorded an own goal and three crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 3-1 win over Elche.

Impact Maffeo helped the opposing team equalize when trying to intercept a dangerous pass in the 21st minute, but he played the full game and racked up a few defensive stats against Elche. He made the initial squad for the 11th time in a row, adding to his totals of 23 crosses, 45 clearances and 25 tackles over that period. Still, it has been far from a good season by his standards in terms of attacking production, with one goal and no assists so far.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Roman - Beaten once in win over Elche Roman recorded no saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Elche.

Impact Roman didn't face any shots on target, but Pablo Maffeo's wrong touch led to his only goal conceded in the first half of the win. The keeper regained a starting spot after recovering from a hamstring issue that forced him to miss five games and made him questionable for Saturday's clash. He's now expected to be chosen over Lucas Bergstrom and could finally stop some shots if he's tested in the upcoming visit to Valencia, who scored once in each of their last five league matches.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Roman - Starts in goal Roman (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Elche.

Impact Roman has fully recovered from his hamstring injury and is available for Saturday's clash against Elche. The goalkeeper is returning directly to the starting XI after missing time, reclaiming his role between the posts for Mallorca. This comes despite solid recent performances from Lucas Bergstrom, indicating a clear vote of confidence from the coaching staff.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lato Toni - Returns to bench Lato (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Elche.

Impact Lato missed the last seven games due to a hamstring injury but is available for Saturday's clash against Elche. The left-back has been limited to a bench role this season and returns as a substitute option rather than reclaim a starting spot. His return adds depth at full-back without impacting the starting squad.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Raillo - Makes starting XI Raillo (eye) is in the starting XI for Saturday's clash against Elche.

Impact Raillo is an option for Saturday's clash against Elche after undergoing successful surgery last week to repair a fracture of the zygomatic arch. The defender is going to play wearing a protective mask and has progressed well enough in his recovery to be considered for a starting role on Saturday against the Franjiverdes.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Raillo - Back available Saturday Raillo (eye) is back available for Saturday's clash against Elche, the club posted.

Impact Raillo suffered a fracture of the zygomatic arch and underwent a successful surgery last week and could recover in time this week since he is an option for Saturday's clash against Elche. The defender will wear a mask while playing but it remains to be seen if he will claim back his starting role or if Marash Kumbulla will start in his place against the Franjiverdes.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lato Toni - Option against Elche Lato (hamstring) is back available for Saturday's clash against Elche, the club posted.

Impact Lato missed the last seven games due to hamstring injury but is an option for Saturday's clash against Elche. The left-back has been only a bench option this season, therefore his return won't impact the starting squad.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Leo Roman - Available against Elche Roman (hamstring) is back available for Saturday's clash against Elche, the club posted.

Impact Roman has fully recovered from his hamstring injury and is back available for Saturday's clash against Elche. Roman was the starting goalie for Mallorca but given the performances of Lucas Bergstrom, it remains to be seen if he will claim back his role directly.

DECEMBER 12, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Samu Costa - Set for suspension Costa will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.

Impact Costa accumulated five yellow cards in La Liga and will be suspended for the clash against Elche on Saturday. His absence will impact the starting squad since he has been a regular starter in the midfield of Mallorca, with Manu Morlanes likely taking a larger role in the lineup during his absence.

DECEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Antonio Raillo - Undergoes successful surgery Raillo suffered a fracture of the zygomatic arch and underwent a successful surgery on Sunday morning, the club announced.

Impact Raillo will likely miss some time and is a doubt for the last two games of the year after suffering a fracture of the zygomatic arch in Friday's 0-0 draw against Oviedo. The captain of Mallorca underwent a successful surgery on Sunday morning and will likely miss some time to recover. Marash Kumbulla will be the one replacing him in central defense until he fully recovers.

Sergi Darder - Eight crosses versus Oviedo Darder registered four shots (two on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and five corners in Friday's 0-0 draw against Oviedo.

Impact Darder was a constant threat on Friday against Oviedo, but his team was unable to capitalize on their many chances. The Spaniard produced a solid outing with season highs of four shots, eight crosses, and five corners, though his overall output remains limited with just one goal contribution this La Liga season. After a one-match spell on the bench, he has now started two straight games, logging 13 starts in 15 league appearances this season.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Lucas Bergstrom - Secures clean sheet Bergstrom recorded three saves and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 0-0 draw against Oviedo.

Impact Bergstrom made three saves on Friday against Oviedo to secure his second clean sheet in five matches while filling in for injured starter Leo Roman, who is sidelined with a hamstring issue, though he is expected to return to a backup role once Leo Roman comes back in December. He has recorded 15 saves while allowing seven goals across five appearances this season.

Impact Muriqi netted the opener by converting a spot kick in the 62nd minute and then netted again four minutes later assisted by Jan Virgili. Muriqi won 11 duels and also made two clearances. This brace takes him joint second for the Pichichi with eight goals, tied with Robert Lewandowski.

Impact Bergstrom made three clearances and also recorded 17 passes. He has now made 13 clearances and 12 saves in four appearances and is yet to register a clean sheet. Next, he will take on Oviedo, who have failed to score in their last three games.

Marash Kumbulla - Returns to bench Kumbulla (hamstring) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Osasuna.

Impact Kumbulla missed the last two months due to a hamstring injury and he has now fully recovered ahead of Saturday's clash against Osasuna. The center-back returns to the squad but will begin the match on the bench as the staff opts for caution after his extended absence. He was an undisputed starter prior to his injury so he is still expected to reclaim that role in upcoming fixtures while gradually building match fitness following his long spell on the sidelines.
