Rayo Vallecano vs Girona Match Preview: La Liga Clash

Match Context

Rayo Vallecano host Girona at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas in Madrid on 11 May 2026, in La Liga Regular Season - 35. Rayo arrive in mid-table (11th, 42 points), while Girona sit closer to the relegation battle in 17th with 38 points.

Rayo Vallecano Availability

Rayo have several defensive and attacking concerns. Luiz Felipe (Injury) is sidelined, removing an experienced option at the back. D. Mendez (Knee Injury) is sidelined, further reducing depth. I. Akhomach (Injury) is doubtful and faces a late fitness test in the attacking line. Key creator Jorge de Frutos, Rayo’s leading league scorer with 10 goals and 1 assist, is fully available and expected to shoulder much of the offensive responsibility.

Girona Availability

Girona travel with a lengthy absentee list. B. Gil (Yellow Cards) is sidelined through suspension and cannot feature. Juan Carlos (Knee Injury) is sidelined, as are Portu (Knee Injury), A. Ruiz (Muscle Injury), V. Vanat (Injury), M. ter Stegen (Hamstring Injury) and D. van de Beek (Achilles Tendon Injury), all sidelined.

Impact Summary

Rayo, with 35 league goals, retain their main attacking threat in Jorge de Frutos, limiting the damage of their absences. Girona, who have scored 36 goals, lose significant attacking depth and rotation options, which could blunt their forward output and place extra burden on their remaining front players.
