Levante

Hugo Sotelo's first start, at home to Barcelona, turned out to be short-lived: a knee injury rules him out of Wednesday's game against Athletic Bilbao.

At right-back, Nacho Pérez and Jeremy Toljan are competing for the place, with barely anything to separate the pair since they started sharing the role. The position further forward is also unsettled between Iván Romero and Petar Ratkov, who made his own first start in that same Barcelona game. On the right of midfield, Reque and Enzo Bardeli have rotated too, with Bardeli expected to start this time.

Athletic Bilbao

Iñaki Williams is expected to miss Athletic Bilbao's visit to Levante. The striker has started and been substituted in all five league games so far, but a foot injury leaves him doubtful, with Maroan Sannadi expected to take the central role if Williams is unavailable.

Gorka Guruzeta and Peio Canales are also doubtful and expected to miss out after starting twice apiece during Athletic's last five matches. Aitor Paredes is expected to replace Yeray at centre-back, while Hugo Rincón could come in at right-back despite Jesús Areso starting four of the last five games.
