Racing de Santander faces Espanyol with goalkeeper Simon Eriksson sidelined

Racing de Santander will host RCD Espanyol at El Sardinero this Saturday. The team's only confirmed absence is Swedish goalkeeper Simon Eriksson, who continues to recover from a right shoulder tendinopathy. As a result, young goalkeeper Laro Gómez is expected to feature in the squad to support Julen Agirrezabala.

Despite the injury, manager José Alberto has the rest of the squad available, including Giorgi Guliashvili, who is returning from a fibula fracture. Racing enters the match looking to maintain their strong home form, having secured all eight of their current LaLiga points at their home stadium.
