Matchday Squad Update: Oviedo vs Alaves in La Liga

Matchday squad news from Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere, where Oviedo host Alaves in La Liga on 17 May 2026, finds both managers juggling notable absences. Oviedo come into this Regular Season - 37 fixture bottom of the table on 29 points, while Alaves sit 16th with 40 points.

Oviedo Absences

For Oviedo, midfield options are stretched. B. Domingues (Knee Injury) is sidelined, removing a technical presence between the lines. Two more central pieces face late fitness calls: L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful, as is O. Ejaria (Injury), leaving significant uncertainty in the middle of the pitch and potentially forcing a reshuffle in both structure and pressing intensity.

Alaves Absences

Alaves also have key issues to manage. In defense, F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined, a direct suspension absence that weakens their back line. Further forward, there is a major blow: L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful. As one of Alaves’ top scorers in La Liga, his potential absence would strip the visitors of an important goal threat and focal point alongside leading scorer Toni Martínez.

With Oviedo lacking stability in midfield and Alaves risking reduced attacking output, both sides may have to adapt their game plans to compensate for these losses.
