Van Wolfswinkel and Joaquín, absent in Friday’s training session

The Dutch striker has a stiff neck

The team has trained again today at Luis del Sol Training Centre 48 hours before the match against Rayo Vallecano. The Green-and-White players will try to continue with the positive streak after the victory last week in Gijon. Var der Vaart and Vargas have been discarded for the fixture, and there are still doubts about Joaquín. The right winger continues with his recovery training, and it will be decided tomorrow if he is available for the match. The player has been out the whole week due to a sprained ankle.

Van Wolfswinkel has been out too due to a stiff neck. His evolution in the next few hours will be key to determine if he will be available.
