Impact Kondogbia assisted Angel Correa's opener in the 18th minute, but it wasn't enough to earn the road win. The midfielder now has two assists in the season. He also received his sixth yellow card so far, fourth in La Liga play.

Sergio Reguilon - Sent off against Almeria Reguilon was shown a red card in the 90th minute of Sunday's draw against Almeria, following a foul on Rodrigo Ely for his second booking of the match.

Impact Reguilon only subbed into Sunday's game in the 67th minute, but he received two yellow cards by the start of stoppage time and was sent off. He will be suspended for next weekend's clash against Valladolid, but Reinildo generally starts over him at left-back regardless.

Yannick Carrasco - Out against Almeria Carrasco is not in the match day squad to face Almeria on Sunday.

Impact Carrasco is out of Sunday's squad as he's dealing with a muscle strain suffered in the buildup. The versatile Carrasco will hope to return in time for next week's match against Valldolid.

Yannick Carrasco - Sustains muscular injury Carrasco suffered a muscle strain and is still being evaluated ahead of Sunday's clash with Almeria, the team announced Thursday.

Impact Carrasco's availability against Almeria should probably be considered doubtful, at best, though the team didn't provide a specific recovery timeline. In his last two outings, the midfielder generated one shot (off target), five crosses (zero accurate) and two corners. If he does play Sunday, the midfielder should be capable of offering top-end fantasy value given his ability to push the attack and role on corners.
