Clears ban Hinojo is no longer suspended, so he's available for future La Liga matches following his suspension.

Impact Hinojo could now enter the contention with Quilindschy Hartman for a left-sided defensive role, with the young defender starting in nine of his 10 appearances prior to the suspension. He's usually not involved in offensive play, racking up passes, clearances and tackles as Espanyol focus on defending results rather than pushing forward from the back line.

Picks up fifth yellow card Hinojo will miss Espanyol's next league match against Deportivo de La Coruna after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season during Friday's 2-0 defeat to Villarreal.

Impact Hinojo received his fifth booking of the campaign during Friday's visit to Villarreal and will serve a one-match suspension as a result. His absence leaves Espanyol needing a replacement at left-back for the Deportivo de La Coruna fixture, with Quilindschy Hartman the natural alternative. The suspension should be limited to one match, allowing Hinojo to return against Athletic Club on Nov. 20.

Impact Hinojo was once again in the starting XI for Espanyol, starting at left-back in all five games to open the season. He would see a solid match in the win, recording one tackle won and three clearances on his way to a clean sheet. He has been solid defensively this season, although he has yet to show much attacking ability.
