Oviedo vs Alaves Match Preview: Key Player Availability

Match Context

Oviedo host Alaves at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere on 17 May 2026 in La Liga, Regular Season - 37. Oviedo come in bottom of the table in 20th place with 29 points and a goal difference of -30, while Alaves sit 16th on 40 points with a -12 goal difference.

Oviedo Availability

Oviedo face multiple midfield and attacking concerns.

• B. Domingues (Knee Injury) is sidelined.
• L. Dendoncker (Injury) is doubtful.
• O. Ejaria (Injury) is doubtful.

All three are listed in the squad, so their absence would notably thin Oviedo’s options between the lines and in advanced areas, but there is no indication that any of Oviedo’s leading league scorers are missing.

Alaves Availability

Alaves also have key issues, including a suspension.

• F. Garces (Suspended) is sidelined.
• L. Boye (Muscle Injury) is doubtful.

F. Garces’ suspension removes a defensive option on the right, while the status of L. Boye is a potential major blow: he has 11 league goals and is one of Alaves’ two leading scorers alongside Toni Martínez (12 goals), who is available.

Impact Summary

Oviedo’s absences mainly affect depth and balance rather than clear top scorers. Alaves, by contrast, risk losing a significant share of their attacking output if L. Boye does not feature, placing even greater responsibility on Toni Martínez to carry the goal threat.
