There are not many injury worries currently present on both sides ahead of this contest. Rayo Vallecano’s biggest concern would be in the form of Andres Martín. Apart from him, they have almost everyone fit and ready for this clash. On the other hand, Celta Vigo will miss Augusto Solari and his absence will be a big blow for the team. Besides, Luca de la Torre and Hugo Mallo will also join him on the sidelines. Otherwise, Gabri Veiga is back from suspension for them.
