Impact Trejo picked up a knock in last weekend's draw against Barcelona, but he has recovered and is back in the lineup in attacking midfield on Friday.

Oscar Trejo - Starting against Espanyol Trejo (undisclosed) is starting for Rayo against Espanyol on Friday.
Barcelona looks to rebound quickly after early setback
The expectations were high for Barcelona coming into the new seasonAUGUST 18, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Andres Martín - Unable to play Martin isn't fit for Friday's match against Espanyol, according to manager Andoni Iraola.
Impact Martin has yet to play since returning from a loan to Tenerife and even when he does return, he won't be much more than an option off the bench.
AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Diego Lopez - Out against former club Lopez won't be available for Friday's match at Espanyol, according to manager Andoni Iraola via Union Rayo.
Impact Lopez also missed the first match of the season against Barcelona but this could be a bigger deal to miss this contest against his last team. As a result, Stole Dimitrievski will remain the starter for Friday's game.
AUGUST 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Santi Comesana - Continues rehab Comesana remains unable to participate in training due to an undisclosed injury ahead of Friday's trip to Espanyol, according to Union Rayo.
Impact Comesana also missed the opening draw with Barcelona and is unlikely to return in time for Friday's game. Look for Oscar Trejo and Alvaro Garcia to conduct the attack until Comesana can play.
AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Esteban Saveljich - Returns to training Saveljich participated in Tuesday's training session, according to Union Rayo.
Impact Saveljich couldn't work up enough fitness in preseason and as a result missed the opening day draw with Barcelona. He started in 21 games last season but none after March and with Florian Lejeune now with the club, Saveljich has a greater competition on his hands for minutes.
AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Stole Dimitrievski - Keeps clean sheet against Barcelona Dimitrievski kept a clean sheet with five saves made during Saturday's scoreless draw with Barcelona.
Impact Dimitrievski impressed in the first game of the season to shut down a dynamic front line with Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha making their league debuts. Though Diego Lopez is on his heels, this is the kind of performance that builds confidence for Dimitrievski early in the season.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Florian Lejeune - Keeps clean sheet on road Lejeune kept a clean sheet with two blocks made and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's scoreless draw with Barcelona.
Impact Lejeune slotted straight into the lineup for his Rayo debut and did well to shut down Robert Lewandowski on his league debut in Spain. Now that he should be in a better team than he was last season at Alaves, Lejeune could have decent defensive value in the coming campaign.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Fran Garcia - Keeps clean sheet in draw Garcia kept a clean sheet with two-of-two tackles won and three interceptions made during Saturday's scoreless draw with Barcelona.
Impact Garcia managed to go without committing a foul or conceding a goal despite going up against a new-look Barca attack. While consistency was an issue for Rayo last season, this is a solid start for Garcia, who doesn't offer tremendous value aside from his defensive work.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Oscar Trejo - Creates one chance in draw Trejo created one chance, drew four fouls and conceded a yellow card during Saturday's scoreless draw with Barcelona.
Impact Trejo is more than capable of contributing in the attack but was tasked with doing the dirty work to earn a good road draw to start the season. He recorded nine assists last season and should be more involved offensively early in the new campaign, if he hasn't taken a knock in this contest as well.
AUGUST 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sergio Camello - Starts in draw Camello put one shot off target in 62 minutes of Saturday's scoreless draw with Barcelona.
Impact Camello started the first game of the season and though he didn't do much, helped earn an impressive draw away at Camp Nou. Finding if Camello, Radamel Falcao or Randy Nteka will start more at striker is one puzzle early in the season for manager Andoni Iraola, but none project the same kind of potential that comes out of the midfield of their club.

Sergio Camello - Gets loaned to Rayo Vallecano Camello joined Rayo Vallecano on a season-long loan from Atletico Madrid. He's also extended his contract with Atleti through 2026.
Impact Camello scored 15 goals and logged four assists last season while with Mirandes in the second division before earning this move. As long as he gets off to a good start, Camello can take advantage of a team short of reliable forwards but filled with good creative players. He will still compete with Radamel Falcao and Randy Nteka for minutes at striker.

Florian Lejeune - Joins Rayo on loan Lejeune joined Rayo Vallecano from Deportivo Alaves on a season-long loan.
Impact Lejeune started 30 games last season as Alaves were relegated. After racking up 153 clearances as well, he'll have a good shot of starting for a team short on defensive depth. Should he make the lineup with two weeks to go in preseason, Lejeune could knock out Esteban Saveljich as a starter.
