Almeria
- Brais Mendez is reportedly out with a metatarsal fracture and could be unavailable for at least two months - his season could well be over, with the spritely Arsen Zakharyan stepping in.
- Robin Le Normand is back from suspension and should return in central defence.
- Alvaro Odriozola returns to the squad and could be eased back into the side as the back end of the season approaches.
- Gonzalo Melero returns from his one-match ban and will be available in midfield for Almeria.
- Ibrahima Konate is still a doubt to return to the squad this weekend, whilst Luis Suarez is still a few games away from playing fitness.
