Oscar Trejo - Set to miss finale Trejo (undisclosed) was left out of the match-day squad versus Levante on Friday.

Impact Trejo will miss his second match due to his undisclosed injury and will see his season come to an end without getting back onto the pitch. In his 32 outings (24 starts) this year, the midfielder garnered three goals on 23 shots (nine on target), nine assists, 118 crosses (37 accurate) and 66 corners. Given his offensive upside and ability to push the attack, Trejo should be a top-end fantasy target heading into the 2022-23 campaign.

Isi Palazon - On bench against Levante Palazon (lower body) will be available as a substitute versus Levante on Friday.

In his 34 appearances (27 starts) this year, the midfielder generated two goals on 58 shots (13 on target), four assists, 70 crosses (16 accurate) and 40 corners and should be capable of offering decent top-half fantasy value when in the starting XI next year.

Alvaro Garcia - Sends in 10 crosses in loss Garcia created two chances, sent in 10 crosses (four accurate), made two tackles (both won) and was shown a yellow card during Thursday's 5-1 loss against Villarreal.

Impact Garcia was one of Rayo's few positives on the offensive end, always trying to generate something from the left flank and leading all players in crosses, but his teammates couldn't capitalize on these plays. With six goals and three assists over 34 league appearances this season, Garcia will try to remain productive during Sunday's visit to Mallorca.

This was the fourth goal over the last seven appearances for the forward and he'll try to keep it up during Sunday's visit to Mallorca.
