Impact Martinez was having an excellent game Monday before he went down injured, so he will hope it isn't a serious concern. Dani Vivian replaced him in the game, and he could fill in for him in central defense if necessary next weekend against Betis.

Asier Villalibre - Takes two shots in loss Villalibre took two shots (one on goal) in 77 minutes of Sunday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Villalibre returned to the lineup for the first time since September and looked fit, but couldn't get many clean chances against a tough opponent and with a rotated roster behind him. He should continue to start on occasion, though with all four strikers healthy for Athletic, Villalibre is down the list on who will play in the biggest games.

Inaki Williams - Comes off bench in loss Williams put one shot on target in 13 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Williams wasn't permitted to start with little time to rest ahead of Wednesday's Copa del Rey match against Valencia. As a result, his side weren't able to take advantage of decent chances and fell victim to an in-form host. He'll now focus more on the two Valencia clubs, first in the cup then against Levante on Monday.

Unai Simon - Concedes four in loss Simon conceded four goals and made three saves during Sunday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.
Impact Simon has had a rough time lately in rotated squads, as he's conceded seven goals between two matches against Mallorca and Barcelona. Those games are just as much down to lineup changes before important cup matches, but it's still not ideal to have this happen with frequency. Fortunately, after Wednesday's match against Valencia only the final will be left as a potential midweek contest. Up next is a home match against Levante, which have scored 28 goals in 26 matches.
