3 important absences for Las Palmas. Who will replace them?

The Portuguese player has been a starter in all the league matches directed by Diego Martínez with an excellent performance: 5 goals and 2 assists in these seven matches. He has also caught the attention internationally since last month he made his debut with the Portuguese national team. He is the starting number 9 and a key player of the team, but he will have to rest, forced, this weekend which will be a headache for the coach. There are several options that can be used. In the 5 matches he has been substituted, McBurnie, Mata, or Fuster have entered in his place. The main candidates to replace him are the first two.

The Canarian defender has been a starter in all the matches in which he has been available, only missing two due to injury. Despite alternating between central and right-back positions last year, this year his position is central alongside McKenna. Now, with his absence, the coach will likely rely on Mika Mármol, who had a pretty remarkable performance last year but is a bit below par this season, although he could also count on Herzog.

Just today, UD Las Palmas has issued a medical report for Viti Rozada confirming that he has a knee sprain. Viti had been a starter for 8 consecutive matches in the starting right flank. With his absence as well as the confirmed absence of Álex Suárez, the starting right back will probably be Marvin Park.
