Starting Saturday Nteka (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Alaves.

Impact Nteka is available as expected, and one upped the expectations by making the starting XI in his return. He started in his past four appearances and will hope to continue in this spot, scoring three goals in 21 appearances.

Impact Nteka looks to be fit again but is still questionable to play Saturday, as he has not yet been fully integrated and is uncertain to make the squad list. This will leave him as a late call for the contest, likely meaning he won't see the start either way.

MARCH 28, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined for one month Nteka has been diagnosed with a left hamstring tear and is expected to miss around four to five weeks, Union Rayo reports.

Impact Nteka left Saturday's game against Sevilla in the first half, and the tests confirmed the worst possible outcome for the striker. This means Rayo will be thin upfront, as Sergio Camello (toe) and Raul De Tomas (illness) are also out. Sergi Guardiola is likely to see the majority of the time as a striker in the upcoming two matches before the international break.

Leaves early against Sevilla Nteka was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match against Sevilla.

Limited impact in defeat Nteka had one shot (one on goal) in Monday's 1-0 defeat versus Barcelona.

Impact Perhaps it was a poor game script, or perhaps it was a case of simply being outclassed. Whichever way one looks at it, Nteka was a non-factor in Real Vallecano's loss to Barcelona on Monday. In 61 minutes played, he lost the most duels of any player in the match with 10, had just one touch in the opposition's box, and failed to convert his only chance. Since scoring a brilliant brace off the bench against Girona on January 26, Nteka has failed to seize the opportunity of starting Vallecano's next two La Liga matches. He will hope for another chance this Saturday against Villarreal.

FEBRUARY 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Signs until 2028 Nteka has agreed to a new contract with Rayo Vallecano until 2028, according to the club.

Impact Nteka is sticking around Rayo for the next few seasons, with the attacker signing until 2028 on Thursday. He has started in nine of his 17 appearances for the club this season, signing in more of a rotational role since signing with the club in 2022. He will hope to only see that role grow over his contract, hopeful to find a starting role at some point.

Prior to his absence, the forward started three of the club's first four contests in which he scored one goal on seven shots (two on target). If he can't go, Falcao (undisclosed) could be an option to start against Cadiz.

If he doesn't suit up against Villarreal as expected, then his next chance to feature will come next Wednesday against Cadiz on the road.
