Hugo Sotelo
LVT
Option for Monday
Sotelo (not injury related) was registered on time and is on the bench for Monday's match against Osasuna.
Analysis: Sotelo had traveled with the rest of the squad ahead of this match, and he'll be an option after being registered in time for selection. Sotelo has plenty of experience in LaLiga, and he should contend for a starting role on the right side of the defense.
Ruled out for league opener
Sotelo will miss Levante's league opener against Espanyol due to registration issues and will not travel with the squad for Saturday's match, according to Las Provincias.
Analysis: Sotelo joined Levante on loan from Celta de Vigo in July to reinforce the midfield but will have to wait to make his official debut after registration issues ruled him out against Espanyol. He should become available once the administrative process is completed, with his return to the squad dependent on Levante finalizing his registration. In the meantime, Oriol Rey looks like the natural beneficiary, with the competition for that midfield spot alongside Jon Ander Olasagasti now tilting in his favor for at least the opening fixture of the season.
Joins Levante on loan
Sotelo joined Levante on loan from Celta Vigo through the end of the season, the club announced.
Analysis: Sotelo came through Celta Vigo's academy, making his debut for the first team on May 16, 2021 against Barcelona, and has since made 64 LaLiga appearances along with seven Europa League appearances. The midfielder has also earned caps for Spain's U21 national team. The move marks his first professional experience away from his hometown. Sotelo is expected to meet his new teammates and begin working under coach Luis Castro as he prepares for the start of the season.
