La Liga Matchday Squad News: Oviedo vs Alaves Preview

Matchday squad news focuses on a high‑stakes La Liga clash at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on 17 May 2026, with bottom‑placed Oviedo (20th, 29 points, goal difference -30) hosting 16th‑placed Alaves (40 points, goal difference -12) in Round 37 of the regular season.

Oviedo Squad Updates

For Oviedo, three players are at risk or unavailable. B. Domingues (Knee Injury) is sidelined and will not feature, removing a midfield option for a side that has scored just 26 league goals. Both L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful and O. Ejaria (Injury) is doubtful, leaving question marks over central balance and attacking link play if late fitness tests do not go their way.

Alaves Squad Updates

Alaves also have concerns. In defense, F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined, a direct consequence of disciplinary sanctions that rules him out of this trip. In attack, L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful, a potentially major blow given his return of 11 league goals and his partnership with leading scorer Toni Martínez, who has 12 goals and 3 assists and is available.

With Toni Martínez fit, Alaves retain most of their attacking output (23 league goals from their top two forwards), while Oviedo’s issues are more about structure and creativity rather than the loss of a headline scorer.
