Denis Suarez says he's ready to play from the start for Espanyol.

The January arrival from Celta Vigo feels ready after two substitute appearances after being frozen out at Celta.

Suarez said, "It makes me very happy to note that my arrival has made people very happy. I feel better every time and I am now available if the coach needs me to start.

He could make a full debut this Sunday in a crucial duel with Elche.

"I've been here for two weeks, I still haven't had the luck to win, and I want to do it now. Sunday's game is very important and the team is working very well during the week. We are going to go with the mentality set on winning although knowing the difficulty that the match entails.

"They beat Villarreal and it won't be easy, but we have to go for the three points."
