Espanyol's Pablo Piatti: Remains out with skull injury

Piatti will miss Friday's match against Sociedad due to a skull fracture with his return still in question, according to El Desmarque.

Analysis:

With seven goals and seven assists this season, Piatti's absence will be felt, but Espanyol still have viable options. Jose Antonio Reyes, having two goals and three assists in his last three starts, will be the most valuable player in Friday's match.
