Martin Valjent - Won't play Tuesday Valjent received his fifth yellow card of the season in Saturday's 1-0 win over Las Palmas, and he won't be available to face Osasuna on Tuesday due to a yellow-card suspension.

Impact Valjent has been a regular in Mallorca's defensive line this season, and his absence means manager Javier Aguirre will have to tweak things over one more time. Giovanni Gonzalez could move to a center-back role while pushing Pablo Maffeo to the right flank. Valjent will be eligible to return for Sunday's match against Almeria.
