Inigo Martinez - Could miss opener Martinez (knee) missed Tuesday's training session ahead of Monday's match against Mallorca, according to Alfonso Herran of AS.

Impact Martinez is running out of time to recover before the opener and with Yeray Alvarez (hip) also dealing with injury, the backup defense could come to the fore. That means Dani Vivian is likely to start alongside someone like Alex Petxarroman or Peru Nolaskoain if Martinez isn't fully fit.

Raul Garcia - Suffers muscular injury Garcia suffered a muscular injury in his right leg, his club announced Saturday.

Impact Garcia picked up the problem during a friendly against Real Sociedad and could be in doubt for the season opener Aug. 15 against Mallorca. Depending on how the formation changes, there's a good chance Garcia wouldn't have started even if fit as Inaki Williams is sure to play every week and Iker Muniain could be moved to a more central-attacking role. Top preseason goalscorer Asier Villalibre is due more minutes and might be next up with Garcia out as another option.

Mikel Balenziaga - Dealing with sprained ankle Balenziaga picked up a sprained right ankle and is limited in training, his club announced Wednesday.

Impact Balenziaga is still able to train, even if it's at a lesser pace than his teammates, so he should have plenty of time to recover for the Aug. 15 opener against Mallorca. Given the injury situation at full-back between veterans Balenziaga and Yuri Berchiche, Inigo Lekue could also play if needed.

Peru Nolaskoain - Features in friendly Nolaskoain played and scored during Sunday's friendly against Mirandes.

Impact Nolaskoain had dealt with a head injury picked up a week before this match but it didn't interfere with much of his preparation. It's unclear what kind of role he'll take in the coming campaign, but if he's fit, Nolaskoain is a capable midfielder though he may not have much fantasy value.
