Yago Santiago Injury: Could return to action Sunday

Santiago (knee) is likely to be available for Sunday's game against Alaves, manager Eder Sarabia revealed during Friday's pre-match press conference. "Yago is widely expected to be part of the squad for Sunday's game."

Santiago has yet to play this season after sustaining an ACL injury during the 2024/25 campaign. He should be an option in midfield if deemed able to return, though he's expected to see minutes off the bench at first given his lengthy absence.
