Nicholas Williams - Returns in loss Williams played for 23 minutes of Sunday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Williams returned to the pitch after missing over a month with a hamstring injury. He's come back at the perfect time before Wednesday's Copa del Rey match against Valencia, which should feature a stronger side than the one that was sent out Sunday.

Yeray Alvarez - Leaves early in loss Alvarez was replaced by Inigo Martinez after 45 minutes of Sunday's 4-0 loss to Barcelona.

Impact Alvarez took an elbow to the head and with some bleeding, it became easier to sub him off and prevent further issues from developing. Should a concussion be confirmed, his chances will be slim of playing in Wednesday's cup match against Valencia but he could push for Monday's match against Levante.
