Current La Liga injury information with updates from Liga 123 and Iberdrola
Latest updates throughout La Liga 1 / 2 / 3
Real Madrid have Fede Valverde available again this weekend following a knee injury sustained in October's Clásico. Rodrygo Goes and Mariano Díaz are also fit. Meanwhile, Dani Ceballos is continuing to work at his ankle rehab. Gareth Bale remains on the club's injured list.
Cádiz have ruled out Tomás Alarcón, who picked up a muscular injury last weekend against Getafe, for Sunday’s match with Atlético Madrid. He joins long-term injured Josi Mari (knee) and Jon Ander Garrido (patella tendon surgery), both of whom are working to be fit as soon as possible after their respective injuries.
Atlético are missing Keiran Trippier, with an acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) sprain of the left shoulder complex sustained against Valencia, and Ivan Saponjic, who has a muscle injury to the right thigh, for the Cádiz game on Sunday. João Félix is still out with a myofascial muscle injury of the left calf sustained in training before the Osasuna game so won't play against Cádiz either.
Initial reports suggested that Kun Agüero is unlikely to return to football due to his heart condition, diagnosed after having to come off against Alavés in October with shortness of breath. Barça, however, are reported to be assessing Kun's progress over the next three months and in conjunction with the player himself will delay making any decisions until that time has elapsed and the situation becomes clearer.
Asier Villalibre had to be substituted during Athletic Club's match against Levante on Friday 19th November with a second recurrence of a previous biceps femoris muscle injury of the left hamstrings. The injury was originally sustained in the match with Rayo Vallecano in September, and with a recurrence of the injury against Villarreal in October. Asier is understandably distraught about this and hopefully he will make a complete recovery and come back stronger.

Round up of injuries in La Liga Iberdrola
Swedish international Kosovare Asllani is now back in full training at Real Madrid following a tear of the lateral ligament in her right knee. The injury was sustained against Granadilla in September.
Enith Sálon of Valencia is going to be out for a couple of weeks with a partial tear of the rectus femoris muscle of the right thigh.
Carla Morera of Eibar had surgery during the last week on a right wrist injury sustained in training. She has been discharged from hospital and will be ready to begin her rehabilitation as soon as possible.
Good news at Levante as María Valenzuela and María Méndez both underwent successful knee surgery last week. María Méndez dislocated the patella of her right knee in addition to tearing the patellofemoral ligament a fortnight ago against Athletic Club. Teammate María Valenzuela tore the ACL in her right knee in the same match. Both players have already started their respective rehab routines under the guidance of the Levante medical team.
Also set for surgery is Gema Gines Garcia of Racing Féminas de Santander, who tore her ACL earlier this month. Racing's players and staff have been wearing tee-shirts in support of Gema for the warm-ups before their recent matches.
There’s always a high number of ACL injuries in the women’s game, so when a player returns to fitness it’s great to see. In the last few weeks, we have had Ana de Teresa of Eibar and Eva Navarro at Levante coming back to play after being out for lengthy periods following ACL surgery. Great to see both back on the field again!
