Eric Bailly

Analysis: Bailly's return to the matchday squad is an encouraging development after being forced off in the 12th minute of Sunday's match against Getafe, raising fears of a potentially season-ending injury. The defender's inclusion suggests the issue was not as serious as initially feared, giving coach Guillermo Almada an additional option at the back for one of the most high-profile fixtures remaining on Oviedo's calendar. David Costas, who had stepped in to replace him against Getafe, could revert to a depth role with Bailly back in contention.

Off after 12 minutes

Bailly was forced off the field in the 12th minute of Sunday's match against Getafe due to an apparent injury.

Analysis: Bailly wouldn't last long Sunday as his day came to an end with only 12 minutes played, leaving with an injury. This is unfortunate for the defender, who has struggled for some time this season, as it could very well end his season if deemed even somewhat serious. He was replaced by David Costas, who will likely return to a starting role for the end of the season.
