Rayo returns to Vallecas this Sunday, after two fruitful visits to Barcelona, in which they have certified their permanence. With the continuity in First already in the pocket, the maxim now is to enjoy and that the stands can celebrate a new victory at home, something that hasn’t happened in the league for four months. To try to get a hold of Real Sociedad, Iraola will introduce changes in the eleven. Some with the aim of balancing the load of minutes in recent days and others, conditioned by circumstances.

This season – that of his debut in the First Division – he has played 243 minutes in seven league games. Three of them, as a starter. Precisely against Elche, in Vallecas, he was in the game and had his best clash of the course, as confirmed by Olocip, who gives the defender a grade of 8.93. An almost outstanding premiere because that was his first time with the Strip in the highest category. That October 17, 2021, Boyé put the ilicitanos ahead and Mario Hernández equalized, after Comesaña assisted him and he left his soul in a header that led the rayista comeback (2-1). That has been his only goal with the first team at the moment, but this Sunday he will have an opportunity again and Usera’s player has already made it clear that if anyone knows how to take advantage of it… it’s him.
