Zito Luvumbo

ANALYSIS
Luvumbo had been sidelined since picking up the small muscle injury during the win over Rayo Vallecano, missing the fixtures against Valencia and Alaves in the process. His return to collective sessions is an encouraging sign that the issue has not proven as serious as initially feared, and having him back for Friday's fixture is a real boost for Mallorca's survival push. Jan Virgili had been covering in his absence, but Luvumbo's direct running and attacking threat make him a key piece of coach Martin Demichelis' plans for the final stretch of the season.
