Cleared to start Mumin (hamstring) is in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Alaves.

Impact It's unclear if the central defender will be forced to miss time following the injury, although it wouldn't be surprising if that's the case. Mumin has started every game for Rayo this season, and his absence will leave the defensive line even more shorthanded since Pacha Espino (fracture) is also out for the foreseeable future.
