Espanyol faces its LaLiga debut with a gift: Slovenian center-back Vanja Drkusic will be available for the Levante match. The Espanyol is set to face Levante in its LaLiga debut, with several new faces and a team still in construction. However, the Espanyol has received a last-minute good news. The latest signing, Slovenian center-back Vanja Drkusic, who passed the medical review yesterday and was officially registered as the fifth signing, will be able to be on the bench at the RCDE Stadium tomorrow. Drkusic is already registered in LaLiga as a new Espanyol player and will enter the convocation for the match tomorrow: to arrive and jump into the ring. The Espanyol's sporting director, Manolo González, has advanced in the press conference of this Saturday that he expected Vajan to be able to be cited, since the Espanyol had already made all the necessary arrangements and that only the approval of LaLiga was missing. "In principle, at a bureaucratic and international transfer level, we have it. From here, the League also validates the player's registration, but if the player is in a condition to be called up, he will be called up tomorrow, surely. The Espanyol has done everything it had to do to have the player tomorrow and we hope that he can be there to be called up", said the Galician. Seen the scenario, the five signings arrived so far (Calatrava, Hartman, Moscardo, Núñez and Drkusic) will form part of the convocation for the LaLiga debut and less the last one, all could already have minutes, being even some titular. The Espanyol finished the 2025 season in tenth position in LaLiga, with 38 points, 10 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses in 31 games. Currently, the team has 37 goals scored and 48 conceded, with a difference of -11 goals. Additionally, the team is 41 points behind the leaders of Barcelona. The player Kike García is currently injured.
