Scores off bench in win
Nteka (undisclosed) scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 win versus Getafe. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute.
Analysis: Nteka replaced Sergio Camello in the second half and quickly made the score sheet through a slightly deflected shot during the 73rd minute Sunday. The Angola international had been a doubt for this game after managing a minor issue, though he recovered just in time to make the squad. Having scored twice over his last three matches played, he could emerge as an interesting offensive option, potentially operating in the No. 10 role while Isi Palazon serves a seven-game La Liga ban.
Ruled out for time being
Nteka (undisclosed) played through a fibrillar tear during the Mallorca fixture but is now ruled out and will not feature for the time being, according to Pablo Villa of Radio Marca.
Analysis: Nteka's determination to play through the injury against Mallorca has clearly taken its toll, and Rayo will now be without him for an unknown period as he works through the recovery process. The forward has mainly been a depth option this season with one goal across 10 appearances, so his absence has a limited impact on the starting lineup, but Sergio Camello is expected to take on a larger role in the attack until Nteka is cleared to return.
