Eligible for season opener

Palazon will be allowed to play since the beginning of the 2026/27 season after the High Court of Justice of Madrid provisionally suspended his ban, per El Chiringuito.

Analysis: Palazon had yet to serve the last two of the seven La Liga games he was suspended for, but Rayo exhausted its avenues of appeal to enable the midfielder to take part in the opening matches of the campaign. He'll immediately regain his status as one of the squad's greatest offensive threats, potentially playing alongside Alvaro Garcia and Jorge De Frutos in a three-man attacking midfield, pushing Pedro Diaz to a bench spot. Last season wasn't Palazon's most productive period, but he managed to score three goals plus three assists across 31 league appearances (27 starts). Additionally, he has been the squad's top set-piece taker when available.

Seven-match ban ends season early

Palazon (suspension) was handed a seven-match ban by the RFEF, effectively ending his LaLiga season with five fixtures remaining, according to Marca.

Analysis: Palazon has been handed a one-match ban for yellow card accumulation, a two-match suspension for his dismissal and protests, and an additional four-match suspension for allegedly insulting referee Guzman Mansilla, who noted in his match report that the midfielder called him a "shameless person" during the match against Real Sociedad. The suspension is a significant blow for Rayo, as Palazon had been one of their most important creative outlets this season, with three goals and three assists in La Liga and a key role in their Conference League campaign. Pedro Diaz is expected to take on a larger role in attacking midfield during his absence, though replacing Palazon's output will be a difficult task for coach Inigo Perez in the final stretch of the season.
