Reinildo Mandava - Bench option against Mallorca Reinildo (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Reinildo is making his debut this season after a long absence due to a knee injury, however, he is only on the bench in his return. The defender will most likely stay in this role for most of the season with the wingback roles already locked up between Samuel Lino, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Llorente, only getting starts here and there when the others need rest.

Memphis Depay - On bench in return Depay (calf) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Mallorca.

Impact Depay is finally making his return to the pitch after a 10-match absence due to a calf injury. He is only on the bench in his return, which should've been expected as they don't want to rush him back into action. The attacker only started in two of his four matches before encountering the injury, so he will most likely remain a bench option behind Antoine Greizmann and Alvaro Morata.

Impact Lino marked his return from a knee injury with a wonder goal and two assists. His three goal involvements came despite him only playing the final 25 minutes. He had started six of the seven games prior to his injury, scoring one goal and registering two assists, and it would be no surprise to see him retake his place in the starting XI in the coming weeks.
