Ludovic Taillandier
ESYStarting Thursday
Cabrera (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Thursday's match against Rayo Vallecano.
Analysis: Cabrera is no longer dealing with his discomfort and is deemed fit again, as the defender is not just on the team sheet but is starting immediately. With 31 starts in 31 appearances this season, he should continue as a starter moving forward to the end of the season, a part of seven clean sheets this season.
Dealing with discomfort
Cabrera is a late call for Thursday's match against Rayo Vallecano due to discomfort, according to manager Manolo Gonzalez, per Santi Olivan of Marca. "He has a little discomfort, but in principle, he is there to play. We will evaluate the situation until the end and decide."
Analysis: Cabrera is the only player for Espanyol to enter Thursday's match questionable, set to be tested until game time due to some discomfort. With the defender starting in 30 games this season, this will be something to monitor, as they could be without a regular starter. If he were to miss out, Carlos Romero and Clemens Riedel would likely start in the middle of the defense.
