Out at least two weeks
Palazon will not make Monday's match against Barcelona and will be out for at least two weeks, according to coach Benat San Jose, per Union Rayo. "Isi will be sidelined, at least a couple of weeks, he is recovering well from his muscle injury."
Analysis: Palazon had been forced off just 17 minutes into a recent match against Alaves after feeling discomfort in his left leg, and this confirmed timeline costs Rayo Vallecano its captain and one of its main attacking references for one of the season's most demanding fixtures. Randy Nteka figures to continue deputizing for him in the attacking midfield role during his absence.
Spotted in training
Palazon (strain) was shown in the background of a training picture posted by the club Thursday.
Analysis: Palazon appears to be recovered and taking part in group practice, though it remains to be seen if he's ready for meaningful minutes after being forced off in his last start on Aug. 20. If fully fit, the attacking midfielder will likely play a role in upcoming fixtures, limiting Randy Nteka to a substitute spot and sharing offensive responsibilities with Jorge De Frutos and Sergio Camello. In any case, Palazon is still looking for his first goal or assist of the season, recording one shot and tree crosses across 81 minutes of league play.
