SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Sends five crosses, strong display Lato recorded five crosses (three accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-0 victory versus Leganes.

Impact Lato was a constant menace on the left side of the attack, and one of his several crosses was met by Vedat Muriqi, who set up Dani Rodriguez for the lone goal of the match. Lato might not be a regular starter going forward, however, but he's an intriguing choice when fielded due to his attacking mentality and crossing ability.

On bench against Madrid Lato (hamstring) is on the bench for Wednesday's match against Real Madrid.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Should be available Lato (hamstring) is expected to be available for Wednesday's trip to Real Madrid, according to manager Javier Aguirre.

Impact Lato suffered a knee-to-knee collision in training but is expected to return Wednesday. The defender should be a bench option even when fit though he has seen occasional starts at left-back. With Jaume Costa suspended Lato could see another chance depending on the formation.

Set for spell on sidelines Latorre will be out of action until the new year, having picked up a muscle injury in his hamstring, as reported by Gabriel Forteza of the Diario AS.

Impact Latorre is the newest member of Mallorca to be dealing with an injury, having picked up a knock to his hamstring ahead of the match. The midfielder is not expected to return until the new year, not being an option for their final two games of 2023 against Almeria and Osasuna. He will hope to return for their contest against Real Madrid on Jan. 3, but that still may be too soon as the club implied that he may miss that match as well as the Celta match in his recovery. His absence shouldn't affect the starting XI too much for the club, with the player mainly playing in a rotational role, so expect Juame Costa to remain in the starting spot at left-back.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected back Saturday Latorre (strain) is expected to be available for Saturday's match against Rayo Vallecano, per Marca.

Impact Latorre should be good to go for Saturday after missing last match with a knock. He is expected to get the start at left back, barring any setbacks. The defender has made three starts in four appearances this season, totaling an assist in that span.

Impact Lato is leaving Valencia after coming up through the club's academy, setting a new personal best in minutes played last season but never starting more than nine matches in a La Liga campaign. The 25-year-old is now moving to Mallorca, where he can begin to phase out veteran Jaume Costa as the first choice left-back once he recovers from a broken rib he suffered in May.

Suffers broken rib over weekend Lato started but was subbed out of Sunday's draw against Espanyol in the 34th minute after breaking his rib, an injury he confirmed on social media Monday.

Impact Lato's contract is up at the end of this season and he will surely leave Valencia having never fully broken into the starting lineup since making his senior debut back in February 2016. The 25-year-old left-back tallied three goals and three assists across 78 appearances (40 starts) in six different La Liga campaigns at the club -- minus a season spent on-loan with PSV and Osasuna in 2019/20 -- and he won the Copa del Rey in 2019.

Remains sidelined Monday Lato (thigh) will not be available against Rayo Vallecano on Monday.

Impact Lato will miss his fourth consecutive match due to his lingering thigh issue. Even once cleared to play, Lato is far from a lock for the starting XI, having come off the bench in three of his last five contests. Even when he does feature, Lato doesn't offer much in the final third and figures to produce mostly defensive stats for fantasy players.

APRIL 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out with thigh injury Lato missed Sunday's defeat against Barcelona with a muscle injury in his thigh he suffered in training, Valencia announced Monday.

Active in cup win Lato played 67 minutes during Wednesday's 4-0 Copa del Rey win over Sporting Gijon.

Comes off in pain Lato was forced off in clear pain during extra time of Wednesday's Super Cup clash with Real Madrid.

Impact Lato was unable to carry on after a heavy tackle left him holding his leg in pain. The defender tried to continue before falling to the ground once more and hobbling off. Lato was replaced by Ilaix Moriba, who is far from a like-for-like sub, but who could see more consistent playing time if the injury proves to be serious for Lato. Lato's first chance to return is a Jan. 23 clash with Almeria.

JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Features in friendly Lato played during Saturday's friendly against Stuttgart.
