Impact Vidal shot twice while winning two of his four tackles and making an interception and a block defensively. This was his best outing for Mallorca following two games without making an appearance, and he may be in line for minutes going forward on the back of this performance.

Vedat Muriqi - Takes four shots versus Valencia Muriqi registered four shots (zero on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Valencia.

Impact Greif made his first appearance of the season and made four stops on his way to keeping a clean sheet.

Omar Mascarell - Forced off with foot injury Mascarell was forced off the field in the 35th minute of Saturday's tilt with Valencia, appearing to have picked up a foot issue.

Impact Mascarell was taken off the field after what looked to be a somewhat severe injury, as his foot was stepped on in a dangerous tackle, appearing to have been affected in the foot or ankle region. This does not look to be good for the club, as he has started in five of their past seven matches and looks to now be set for some time on the sidelines. Nothing is set in stone yet, with the player having yet to undergo testing and an additional two weeks to recover until the club's next match on April 13 against Real Madrid. He was replaced by Samu Costa.

Samu - Completes one-game ban Samu Costa completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face Valencia on March 30 after the international break.

Impact Costa missed the 1-0 win over Granada, and it remains to be seen if manager Javier Aguirre will slot him right back into the starting lineup, as he's been a starter in just two of Mallorca's last five league contests. Costa will likely battle with Omar Mascarell for a starting role in defensive midfield.

Lato has just one goal involvement this season, coming in August, but has crossed eight times while making seven tackles over his last three matches.

Martin Valjent - Remains out Valjent (undisclosed) won't be ready to return Saturday and has been ruled out of facing Granada, manager Javier Aguirre told media during his pre-match press conference. "Valjent...

Impact Mallorca are being extremely cautious with Valjent, and they're looking to have him back at full strength following the international break, as Mallorca will definitively need him for the stretch run of the campaign. Expect Copete to remain in the starting lineup with Valjent sidelined, though Siebe Van der Heyden is also an option.

MARCH 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Pablo Maffeo - Back on grass Maffeo (knee) was spotted in training ahead of Saturday's match against Granada.

Impact Maffeo was spotted doing some stretches, but it's unclear whether he took part in the exercises and if he'll end up being available to face Granada on Saturday. If not, then he'd likely be ready to play after the international break when Mallorca travel to Mestalla to take on Valencia.

Omar Mascarell - Ready to return Saturday Mascarell completed his one-game suspension due to yellow-card accumulation and will be eligible to face Granada on Saturday.

Impact Mascarell completed his ban, and the veteran midfielder has a strong chance of returning to the starting lineup right away since Samu Costa will be suspended to face Granada. Mascarell has made 19 appearances this season for Mallorca, starting in 12 of those contests.

MARCH 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Samu - Earns one-game suspension Costa earned a one-game suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season against Barcelona, meaning he'll miss Saturday's game against Granada.

Impact Costa was making just his second start since the beginning of February, and he was booked in both contests, giving him five on the season. Mallorca have decent depth in midfield, though, so Costa's absence won't be a massive one. He'll be eligible to return when Mallorca travel to Mestalla to take on Valencia after the international break.

MARCH 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Predrag Rajkovic - Concedes once in loss Rajkovic had six saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 1-0 loss to Barcelona.

Unfortunately, he was beaten in the second-half by a strike that was placed in a spot where he couldn't get to. Next, he'll face off against Granada, a team with 30 goals in 27 games.

Impact Lato was struggling with an injury during Friday's clash and was brought off the pitch late in the second half. The defender will have a bit of a long week to try and recover before a March 16 match against Granada. If Lato is unable to go it could be Jaume Costa who returns to the starting XI.

Pablo Maffeo - Remains out Maffeo (knee) is out for Friday's match against Barcelona.

Impact Maffeo appears to have not passed a late fitness test, as he is back in team training but is still not ready for a return, now missing his eighth straight match due to a knee issue. The defender will now hope to get back out on the field in the club's next contest against Granada on March 16, as he did hold a starting spot before the injury, having started in five straight games before his complications developed.
