Suffers fresh injury setback

Romero (undisclosed) has suffered another injury setback and has been ruled out for Saturday's derby against Valencia, according to coach Inigo Perez. "He won't be with us tomorrow in Valencia."

Analysis: Romero faces another spell on the sidelines after picking up a fresh injury that will prevent him from featuring in Saturday's derby against Valencia. The defender had recently recovered from a previous undisclosed issue that forced him to miss two consecutive matches, subsequently returning to full team training and receiving clearance to resume competitive action. However, his latest setback raises renewed concerns about his fitness, particularly after an interrupted start to the 2026/27 campaign. Romero started four of his six La Liga appearances this season, establishing himself as an important defensive option. With the defender unavailable again, Sergi Cardona should be the leading candidate to occupy the left-back position against Valencia. The nature and severity of Romero's latest injury remain unclear, with no definitive timetable established for his return.

Fit for play

Romero (undisclosed) is an option for Monday's match against Betis and further matches after training this week, according to manager Inigo Perez, per Victor Franch of Marca. "Carlos has completed the week with the team; there is just this afternoon's training session left, and in principle, he should be available tomorrow."

Analysis: Romero was facing some doubt this week due to an undisclosed injury, but has returned to action, with the defender available through training this week. After missing two games in a row, this is a major return for the club, as he started at left-back in three straight games to begin the season. There is a slight chance he gets to go from the start, with Sergi Cardona as another option.
