Bad news for Espanyol as they prepare to visit Son Moix. Pol Lozano will be unavailable for the match against Mallorca this Saturday at 4:15 PM. He received his fifth yellow card for a foul in midfield, leading to an automatic suspension and forcing him to miss the game against Jagoba Arrasate’s team.
This is not the first time this season that Lozano has faced suspension. He previously had to watch the match against Valencia from the stands for the same reason. This absence comes at a crucial moment, especially as coach Manolo González had recently found a successful midfield combination with Lozano, Urko González de Zárate, and Alex Král.
His absence is a headache for the Espanyol coach, who will need to find a solution to replace a player who has been vital in midfield. Without Pol, adjustments are needed for a match expected to be intense and physical against a Mallorca side that is always tough to play at home.
