…FIGHT

It is true that you can have your certainty in a match and influence but I think that it happens in situations in other teams, not in Rayo, which knows what it is to fight for relegation despite having been with them for 2 or 3 years. Good results and without suffering. Óscar Trejo is a very important player for us both outside and inside. In the last few games he hasn't been able to help us but he continues to train very well and show all the capabilities he has. He is not going to lower anything and he is going to continue contributing everything he has: the hierarchy that the coach and his teammates appreciate.

…GETAFE

Getafe is a very recognizable team. He has clear ideas in both attack and defence and that is a virtue of his coach. He is positive for them and has to be making us alert. They have several tools to harm us. I think it will be a close game without both teams exposing themselves and making mistakes that will penalise you. We will try to get it to go in other directions but it is not always what you want.

…INJURY REPORT

We have some casualties. Álvaro García is safe but the rest of the players are at that moment in which we hope to add some of them. Kike Pérez depends on the pain tolerance he has regarding his ribs. Falcao is also recovering but we are just going. We hope you have good feelings today and we can add to the cause. Álvaro García has a muscle injury whose recovery time is usually between 3-4 weeks. He is progressing well but it has only been 10 days and we have to wait.

…ABOUT THE MATCH

We are fine. We come from two breaks in a row. The team is eager to return to the competition, to meet again with a good level of the team. I am sure that tomorrow we will have a great confrontation against a great rival. We have prepared it as we usually do. It has a lot at stake and there is going to be a great atmosphere. We are going to see a very nice game, I have no doubt. It will be a very disputed match. We have worked on it this week.

…INJURY REPORT

We have the loss of Aleñá due to the fifth yellow and that of Duarte who underwent surgery. We don't have any more besides the long-lasting ones that we all know. In principle they are all available.

…SEASON GOAL

We have to get the points to seal permanence now. Athletic's victory enables one more position in European positions, but we have to add the points and we will see how far we are able to go.

…RAYO

It is a complicated team, and at home it is always a team that demands a lot from its rival. You have to adapt to the scenario, with a small field that is very tight. You have to be agile and very fast. We have to master the different aspects of the game. It will be a very demanding match.
