Omar Mascarell
MLLSuffers possible serious injury
Mascarell was substituted off in the 52nd minute of Saturday's clash with Real Oviedo after suffering a possible serious muscle injury.
Analysis: Mascarell was visibly affected and in tears as he was helped off the pitch in the 52nd minute after suffering what initial indications suggest could be a serious muscle injury in the adductor area, having required medical attention on the field. The injury adds further sadness to what has been a bitter end to the season, with the club also suffering relegation to the second division. Mascarell ends the campaign as one of the most important figures in both midfield and defense, finishing with two goals and two assists alongside 48 tackles, 35 interceptions, 84 clearances and 17 blocks across 30 appearances (26 starts).
No longer banned
Mascarell will be eligible going forward after serving a one-match La Liga suspension.
Analysis: Mascarell could appear either in midfield or central defense, having played both roles over the last few weeks before his suspension. He had just scored his second goal of the season during his last performance against Getafe. However, he holds much more value in terms of passes and defensive contributions. His return will push Manu Morlanes or David Lopez to the bench, depending on whether he's used in the middle or back line.
Suspended one game
Mascarell will serve a one-match ban due to an accumulation of five yellow cards in La Liga.
Analysis: Mascarell picked up his fifth yellow card in La Liga and will serve a one-match suspension for Sunday's clash against Levante. The midfielder has been an undisputed starter in the engine room for Mallorca this season, therefore his absence will force a change in the starting XI, with Manu Morlanes and Sergi Darder getting larger roles for that game.
