Martin Valjent
MLLOption for season finale
Valjent (hamstring) has returned to training without any apparent issues and will be available for Saturday's crucial survival clash against Real Oviedo, according to COPE.
Analysis: Valjent had been forced off late in Sunday's defeat against Levante raising concerns over his fitness for the most important fixture of Mallorca's season, but his participation in Thursday's open training session is a significant relief for coach Martin Demichelis. The Slovak center-back will allow coach Demichelis to restore his preferred defensive partnership alongside Omar Mascarell for the Oviedo clash.
Suffers hamstring issue
Valjent (hamstring) was forced off in the 69th minute of Sunday's 2-0 loss against Levante with muscular discomfort, raising concerns over his availability for Saturday's crucial survival clash against Real Oviedo, according to Canal 4 Diario.
Analysis: Valjent's early exit added to what was already a miserable afternoon for Mallorca, who now sit on the brink of relegation heading into the final fixture of the season. The club will assess the extent of the hamstring issue over the coming days before making a call on his involvement against Oviedo, with the Bermellones needing a win and favorable results elsewhere to avoid the drop. His potential absence for such a critical fixture would be a significant blow for coach Martin Demichelis, who is already running low on defensive resources after a difficult afternoon at the Ciutat de Valencia. David Lopez could be set to start if Valjent had to miss the season finale.
