Won't play in season finale Montes (undisclosed) won't play in the season finale against Cadiz on Saturday, Antonio del Rosal of Diario AS reports.

Impact Montes has picked up an injury in training and won't be available for the season finale, but his injury also puts his Copa America participation in doubt. This means Aleksandar Radovanovic at center-back alongside Chumi. Montes ends the 2023-24 season with 94 clearances, 22 tackles and 11 interceptions across 21 starts.

Set for suspension return Montes completed his one-game suspension and will be available to face FC Barcelona on Thursday.

Impact Montes will probably return to the starting lineup right away, in a move that would probably push Edgar Gonzalez to a midfield role. Montes had started in six of the last seven games he'd been available for before the suspension, racking up 30 clearances and four tackles in that span.

MAY 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Earns one-game suspension Montes received his fifth yellow card of the season in Sunday's win at Rayo Vallecano and will be suspended to face Betis this upcoming Sunday. He finished the win at Rayo with 10...

Impact Montes has been booked in his last two league appearances, and the central defender will miss the game against Betis, meaning Edgar Gonzalez could move to the defensive line as a stopgap. Montes' next chance to play will come against FC Barcelona on May 16.

Stalwart defensive performance Cesar Montes generated two tackles (one won), nine clearances and one interception in Sunday's 1-0 victory versus Las Palmas.

Impact Montes was integral to Almeria's clean sheet effort during their 1-0 victory over Las Palmas on Sunday. Montes was superb at the back, adding two blocks to the aforementioned defensive production. The start was Montes's second consecutive since returning from a knee issue, and his performance indicates that he has reclaimed his place in the starting XI. In the two games he's played since returning from the knee injury, Montes has made 13 clearances and provided three blocks.

Finds bench against Atletico Montes (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Atletico Madrid.

Impact Montes is back with the team after missing the club's past two contests due to a lingering knee issue. The defender lines up on the bench Saturday but should be expected to return to his normal starting spot next week, as before his injury, he started in eight of the club's last nine contests.

Possibility for Saturday Montes (knee) appears to be an option for Saturday's match against Atletico Madrid, as manager Gaizka Garitano told reporters, "Everyone is available for selection, with the except...

Impact Montes looks to be in line for a return this week after missing the past two matches due to a knee issue. His return should not come as much of a surprise, as he was expected to get on the team sheet last week against Granada but failed a late fitness test that held him out for the contest. The defender will most likely come in snagging the starting spot at center-back if selected for the match, as he has started in the past eight games he has been available for. However, there still is a chance Aleksandar Radovanovic and Edgar Gonzalez earn the start in the middle of the defense once again, with Montes getting time off the bench to test his legs after the absence.

Fails fitness test Montes (knee) is not in the squad to face Granada on Sunday.

Impact Montes misses out on his second straight match after failing a late fitness test Sunday. The centerback is replaced in the starting XI by Aleksandar Radovanovic.

FEBRUARY 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Facing late fitness test Montes (knee) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against Granada, the club announced Friday.

Impact Montes' status for Sunday won't be known until the club's team sheet is released, with the club stating his integration into the team will not be known until "the last moment." This comes after the defender was forced to miss the club's most recent match, having only worked on the sidelines over the past week. With the current situation, Montes will most likely only line up on the bench if selected for the team, with the club not wanting to rush him back into play after facing a late fitness test and giving the start to either Aleksandar Radovanov or the newly healthy Chumi.

FEBRUARY 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out versus Athletic Montes (knee) is out for Monday's matchup against Athletic.

Impact Montes recently picked up a knee injury in the club's last contest against Valencia, leaving him out to face Athletic on Monday. This is somewhat of a major loss for Almeria, as the defender has started in all but three matches he has been available for this season. Marc Pubill relieves Montes of his duties at right-back Monday and will most likely continue there if he misses any more time.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Knee injury confirmed Montes came off during Saturday's match with a knee injury, "I took a physical risk in the previous game because that's what I had to do, but today I felt that another teammate cou...

Impact Montes could not continue in the match after feeling knee discomfort. He's been getting a lot of time on the pitch of late, starting the last eight games in a row while totaling 34 clearances in that span. If the defender needs to sit out Monday, then Edgar Gonzalez could move to center back, especially with the departure of Kaiky.
