Carles Aleñá
ALASuspension over
Alena is no longer banned and is an option for play moving forward.
Analysis: Alena is back in the mix after one game out due to suspension, missing the 1-1 draw against Elche. He will now look to help his team in the final matchdays as they try to avoid relegation, in the bottom three right now. He has earned stints of starts this season but is mainly a rotational piece recently, starting in 23 of his 34 appearances this campaign.
Suffers fifth yellow card
Alena is set for a one-match suspension due to yellow card accumulation.
Analysis: Alena is not going to play in the next contest after a fifth yellow card last time out, set to miss the Elche match on May 9. Luckily for the club, he didn't start in their last contest, so this won't force a change, only losing some depth. However, with 23 starts in 34 appearances this season, he could reclaim a starting spot when returning, only having three matches left to play after the ban.
Five crosses Tuesday
Alena generated two shots (zero on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and four corners in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to Real Madrid.
Analysis: Alena recorded five crosses Tuesday, his 12th match this season with five or more. He also created multiple chances for the first time since Feb. 27 and took two off-target shots despite only playing 32 minutes off the bench. He has four assists on the season, a career-high, but he's recorded just one since Oct. 5.
