Leganés will be without Cameroonian midfielder Yvan Neyou as they face Las Palmas in a must-win encounter that could determine their fate in La Liga.
With just two matches remaining in the campaign, the pressure is mounting on Borja Jiménez’s side, who find themselves battling to avoid relegation.
The trip to face Las Palmas—already condemned to the drop—offers a crucial lifeline, but Leganés will be forced to navigate the challenge without several of their usual starters.
Among the notable absentees is Neyou, a central figure in recent weeks, who has played a pivotal role in midfield during the club’s tense survival bid.
Also missing from the squad are Valentin Rosier, a regular presence in the backline, and Darko Brasanac, who has seen a reduction in minutes in recent weeks.
The decision to exclude the trio has raised questions among supporters and pundits, especially given the high stakes of the fixture.
When pressed for clarity in his pre-match press conference, head coach Borja Jiménez remained deliberately vague.
“We have injuries and knocks. The squad will be made shortly and you’ll be able to see,” Jiménez stated. “There will be rotations of players who were present in the last match and who will not be present in this one.”
His refusal to elaborate on the nature of the omissions has sparked speculation about the players’ fitness, with no official confirmation provided regarding injuries or disciplinary issues.
In the absence of Neyou and his fellow absentees, Jiménez is expected to call on Óscar Rodríguez and Sergio González to reinforce the midfield and defensive lines.
Both players are likely to play pivotal roles as Leganés seek to secure a critical three points.
The club has managed just six wins all season, and their hopes of avoiding relegation now hinge not only on results in their own matches but also on slip-ups from their direct rivals.
Any misstep could prove fatal in their pursuit of top-flight survival.
As the squad travels to face Las Palmas, all eyes will be on how the reshuffled lineup performs under pressure—and whether the gamble to exclude key players pays off in the fight to stay in La Liga.
